Ses anciens joueurs, dont certaines stars comme John Wall ou Kevin Love, ont eux aussi rendu hommage au coach.
The sting of losing another loved one to cancer doesn't get any easier. My thoughts & prayers are with the Saunders &Twolves family. Coach Saunders guided me into this league, he believed in me and taught me what it takes to be a good player and a better man. RIP Coach🙏🏾Une photo publiée par johnwall (@johnwall) le
