Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor says that his friendship with Kevin McHale won't play a factor in whether or not he returns as the team's coach.

"Our fans could care less that I like or don't like Kevin; that's a personal thing," Taylor said. "I know our fans care greatly about us setting ourselves up for a championship team. Personally, that's my goal."

New executive David Kahn is expected to meet with McHale this week to determine whether or not he'll return to the club as head coach.
