Would LOVE to have the big guy back on the bench at Duke....
QUOTE Ex-Duke star Christian Laettner is searching for a coaching gig QUOTE Two decades after leading Duke to its first national title and 19 years after hitting the most famous shot in college basketball history, Christian Laettner wants back in the game as a coach. That's why you'll find one of college basketball's most famous villains in Houston the next couple days during Final Four weekend. Between celebrity appearances and interviews about "The Shot," he's hoping to schmooze with other coaches and inquire about a gig as a Division I assistant coach. QUOTE "I'm ready to start meeting people and networking and I'm available if they're interested in taking a chance on me," Laettner said this week. There are two big obstacles that could make Laettner's dream a difficult one to achieve: His lack of coaching experience and his cocky image. "I am a little worried about [my image], but I'm hoping that they'll realize that you can't go off image and perception all the time," Laettner said. "You've got to go by one-to-one interaction with people." The obvious option would be a return to Durham under Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, but Coach K's bench is already full of former Duke players. QUOTE "Well, the ultimate goal is to get a big-time head college coaching job," Laettner said. "If nothing happens in the college ranks, I've got to go to the NBA pre-draft camp this year in Chicago and let the people in the NBA know that I'm ready to be an assistant coach." Nice lookin' family too... LINK |

Don't know if he's be a good fit for Duke (the hatred for the Devils is bad enough as it is), but he could help somebody. BYU maybe?

Thought about that but it seems like most of the elite players are cocky fuks these days anyway. Laettner's attitude would probably mesh perfectly with a lot of those kids. Plus , half of 'em barely remember who he was anyway. He's a highlight reel that they see every season this time of year and he's only a brief part of that. BTW , did ya hear Austin during the Mickey D game? He BETTER be fukkin' good , that's all I got to say. |

It'd be tough for him to recruit.
Most everyone other than Duke fans hate his guts.  Heck, he's probably the #2 most hated man in America....behind St Augie Doggie, of course. |

QUOTE about nine months ago he started the Christian Laettner Basketball Academy that trains kids 14 and older about the game. In classic Laettner fashion, he has this message for interested customers on his website: "I offer discounts to all players, teams and coaches who hail from the states of Kentucky, North carolina and Connecticut. This comes from the compassion and generosity of my heart and soul for causing you all so much pain, agony and hate over my four year career at Duke!!" |

I think this rumor has legs.
> Chris Collins to NCSU > Laettner then joins K's staff |

It'll take large sums to pry them away from K. I don't see it, but my opinion's not much.

Wojo takes his name out of the running and Archie Miller accepts the job.
