Kevin Love has a lot of goals in the NBA. Breaking news was not one of them. But early Wednesday morning, the Minnesota Timberwolves forward unknowingly played the role of the reporter on Twitter.

@kevin_love: Today is a sad day…Kevin McHale will NOT be back as head coach next season.

Love Tweeted about McHale’s status with the Timberwolves before the organization had made any news public. Teammate Mark Madsen also Retweeted the news on his page.

According to the Associated Press, “Upon seeing the posting, a person in the league was told McHale sent a text message to Love indicating he was not coming back. The person requested anonymity because no official announcement has been made.”

Two hours after the initial Tweet, Love offered a clarification:

@kevin_love: 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….

News on McHale’s future had been expected. Last week the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported McHale and president of basketball operations David Kahn met for the third time.

The former Boston Celtic has collected a 39-55 coaching record over the last two seasons with the Timberwolves.

   My husband and i felt quite cheerful that Raymond managed to complete his analysis because of the ideas he received out of your web pages. It’s not at all simplistic just to always be giving away steps that many the rest could have been trying to sell. And now we already know we need the website owner to appreciate for this. The type of illustrations you have made, the straightforward web site navigation, the relationships you can make it easier to foster – it is everything excellent, and it is making our son and our family do think this situation is enjoyable, and that is especially important. Thank you for the whole thing!
