Huh?

Did the Lakers ask every coach in the ACC if he was interested in replacing Phil Jackson? Apparently, after Duke's Mike Krzyzewski's turned down the job, Roy Williams got a call from the Lakers front office about the coaching vacancy.

"I told them that I was quite happy at Carolina and was not interested in the job," Williams said.

Steve Kirschner, associate athletics director for communications at North Carolina, said Tuesday Williams had a general conversation with the Lakers a couple of weeks ago.

"It never got to the point of any back-and-forth conversation because he told them flat-out at the beginning that he was going to stay at Carolina," Kirschner said.

It was hard enough trying to imagine Coach K telling Shaquille O'Neal what to do (and him doing it), but it's alomst impossible to fathom Roy Williams doing the same -- especially since Rashad McCants was more than a handful for him last season. Either way, I'm glad he didn't think twice about staying in Chapel Hill.
