Coach K: Not Interested in "Nyets"

It would be difficult for any college coach to say he's interested in an NBA job when he's still recruiting high school players and pushing his current charges towards the NCAA's. Still, Mike Krzyzewski said after his 1,000th game at Duke (and his 63rd birthday), "No one’s contacted me, and if they do, I think ‘nyet’ would be easy for me to say." He also asked why a Russian, Mikhail Prokhorov, would "hire a Polish guy?"

Who dares to mock THE Mikhail Prokhorov? Is he asking for a brutal death?
A big-name NBA coach will do just fine. If I had to make a guess, I’d have to say it will be Jeff Van Gundy. I’d prefer Mike Fratello or Avery Johnson.
There is no way it will be John Calipari.

He just said nobody has contacted him. And he obviously wouldn’t say “Yes, i’m very interested!” during the season while still coaching at Duke.

breaking news is that a gang of russian thugs is currently surrounding krzyzewski’s home… they are armed … looks like he wont get to finish even THIS year at duke

“Nyet” doesn’t even sound like no or not. Perhaps he’s saying “not yet.”

he can’t comment on this. only a guy like pitino would openly campaign for a job while his team is midway thru season

@Accelerate
My thoughts precisely. These are non-denial denials. He loses in the first round and maybe everyone wants to get happy.

Everything you hear is just pure speculation. I can’t wait for May. In fact, May 2010 maybe the best year of my life, both personally and as a sports fan. Go Nets!

Coach K is what is needed to help Yi reach his full potential. Yi can be another Dirk with the right coaching.

Of course not, why would a legend of a coach want to tarnish his rep and coach the worst NBA franchise ever?

i think it’s Yormark – intent on keeping the Nets in the news at all costs – who is feeding these rumors to the media. Who are these team sources, league officials, persons close to the situation – if not members of his team. What a joke the Nets organization has become – what a soap opera. Trying to hide the diastrous season behind stories and more stories about the bright future we have. Yeah right. It’s disheartening – especially with the trading deadline around the corner and we’ve done absolutely nothing to improve our position for the FA action in July. What a joke.
Send Yormark back to NASCAR if they’ll have him.

It is very simple,Coach K will never agree to coach a Badly losing franchise,so why foolishly think he would consider it? Lebron is not coming either, Get Mark Jackson or Patrick Ewing,Not a college coach or NBA retread,Either one of these guys would help this team greatly,by working hard knowing this would be their first shot at being the head guy,and with a good group of assistants the rebuilding process would head in the right direction,Jackson would be helpful for Devin,and potentially John Wall,and Ewing could School Lopez,so either could be a plus,and would not be super expensive,like Avery and Van Gundy,Etc.And these guys would still have a positive effect on attracting free agents, and top draft picks,Give it up on hunting for college coaches,they would be of no help in a rebuilding process,Be realistic and start with fresh ,non burnt out guys with Nba knowledge to get this sinking ship back afloat!!

i guess lebron aint comin this year or ever. Looks like the Cavs are gettin Amare. WOW

How about we trade for T-Mac at the trade deadline if we cannot send our own expiring contracts for something worthy. Houston gets, Batty, Simmons and Hassel and we get T-Mac. I guess salaries match or closely match. It is a good deal for Houston and we can possibly convince T-Mac to sign for less if we are building a winning team in next season. When he is healthy T-Mac still can play and can be our SG or SF depending on the FA we would end up getting.

Hollah!
