Per Chip:
Caldwell had reached the pinnacle in the NHL and worked for an owner who treated like him a son. He found the NBA’s global reach appealing, along with the challenge of getting a new arena built. Lore and Rodriguez showed their commitment by offering a 10-year contract.
“From a career perspective,” Caldwell said, “I think I’ve found my niche [in sports].”
He describes his leadership style as “authentic.” Boggiano, a friend since 2003, observed Caldwell’s leadership under the most intense circumstances: in combat.
“If you would ask all of his peers who was the best lieutenant in the battalion,” Boggiano said, “I think it would be pretty close to universal that everybody would agree that it’s Matt. He is such a good leader that he can even give people bad news, and they still love him.”
Caldwell hopes to deliver more good news than bad in his new job. After all, a person doesn’t trade Miami winters for Minnesota’s without conviction in a plan.
Howl Wolves!!
Minnesota bound
