They're perfect for each other
What can I say, the two teams I always root against, finally coming together:
Duke Coach Krzyzewski in Talks with LakersLOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Los Angeles Lakers are in talks with Duke University's Mike Krzyzewski over the vacant job as head coach at the high-profile NBA team.
The Lakers said in a statement Thursday that general manager Mitch Kupchak had "contacted and had discussions with Mike Krzyzewski" about the position but declined to provide further details.
Duke University (in Durham, North Carolina) also confirmed talks had taken place with its college basketball coach, more popularly known as "Coach K," who has led the Blue Devils to three national championships in his 24-year tenure.
"Coach K has informed us the Los Angeles Lakers have contacted him and entered into serious discussions to fill their vacant head coach position," said Duke University's director of athletics Joe Alleva.
Phil Jackson, who won three championships with Los Angeles and six with the Chicago Bulls, stepped down as head coach of the Lakers last month, three days after the team suffered a shock defeat by the Detroit Pistons in the NBA finals.
Sounds like a match made in, well, Glendale or somewhere.
