He may not be in Minnesota anymore but for this conversation it felt like it as Matt is joined by former DeLaSalle boys head coach and current Colorado St. men's basketball assistant coach - Dave Thorson. Also, joining for this episode is Jeff Munneke. Coach Thorson will always have ties to Minnesota as he led DeLaSalle High School to an amazing 9 state championships, including six straight class 3A titles from 2012 - 2017. We are able to connect with Dave to hear how things are going in his new home in Fort Collins, CO as he is now a part of the staff of Niko Medved and the Rams men's basketball team. We learn how Coach Thorson got his start in coaching and the many camps he worked. His early break was working for Coach Clem Haskins as an assistant at the University of Minnesota. Coach Thorson also reminisces about his successful 20+ year stint with DeLaSalle as well as naming his "all-time" great team of Islanders. Jeff and Dave also share how the Timberwolves Shootout started from a conversation with the two of them and the first "big" matchup. Enjoy this conversation in the Bare's Den with Dave Thorson.
