An hour later, he tweeted this: "P.S., I am not a breaking-news guy... I had no idea no one knew... I'll tell them I stayed at a (Holiday Inn Express) last night. Always works."

When asked about his teammate playing reporter, Wolves star Al Jefferson said, "That's something I just still don't understand. I haven't had a chance to talk to him yet. But I really believe everybody ought to let him know that was a bad mistake."

Kahn said he won't give the matter a second thought.

"I don't want Kevin to feel badly about that. We live in a very different world than all of us grew up. I don't think it's a big deal."

David Kahn's decision not to bring back Kevin McHale was not well received in the team's locker room, where players seemingly universally wanted the Hall of Fame player back as coach.

Forward Al Jefferson met with Kahn at length in early June and told the new boss he wanted McHale to return.

"I was more shocked, disappointed and hurt," Jefferson said when asked for his reaction to the news. "But at the same time, I understand it's a business. I talked to David before the decision was made and I knew, at the end of the day, he was going to do what was best for the team. I felt like I would feel a lot worse today if I would not have went to David two weeks ago and told him how I felt about Kevin McHale. I let him know how I felt. The decision still came out the way it did.

"I respect that and I'm going to roll with it."

QUOTE TO NOTE: "I don't want nothing to do with it. It's not my job. They pay me to do my job... There's no doubt in my mind there will be more changes coming. That's the whole reason (David Kahn) is here. They brought him in because they needed a change. I'm just sitting back, waiting." -- Al Jefferson.
