    yeah, that was wrong of me. I meant to say mainly that he was not the frontrunner...i recall Silas, Dunleavy and Brown with JVG becoming a quick sign at the end....but yeah, he was on the books to have an interview.

    doesn't he have a lifetime contract at duke?

    why would he leave duke (where he will never get fired) for the nba where the average lifespan of a HC is about 3 years? the money is almost equal BTW...

    If anyone ever gives you 10,000 to 1 odds on anything...YOU TAKE IT.

    If John Mellencamp ever wins an Oscar, I'm going to be a rich dude.

    this is why DC fires Admins on Fridays, to give them a silent exit...just ask Will...this is the best day of the week to get fired.

    the real interviews begin next week...Adleman is a decoy. Who actually believes that Les is going to interview only one big name coach (a JVG asst doesn't count) to be Yao's next coach.

    Not to say it will be Coach K.

    But let me put it this way...no other coach available will draw a bigger news story than Coach K. Les likes big stories. And...AND...it is the easiest sell to China. "Look, they hired the USA National Team coach to be Yao's next coach." easy sell.

    Oh, and I will take your 15-1 if you let me bet $100. Plus, this is just internet chatter unless you meet me to sign a bet contract in blood like I made my friend do last night.

    blood...just kidding. but we did sign a contract. no one is going to fork over $1000 to me or $1500 in your case unless we sign sumpin.

    I ain't losing $100 without some assurance that I can collect $1500 on your ass should I win the lottery. :D
