Mike Krzyzewski says he was offered chance to coach 76ers, Lakers, Celtics

In an interview with WIP Radio, longtime Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski talked about the chances he was offered in the past to coach in the NBA.

Coach K said the Philadelphia 76ers reached out to him in 2003, but he declined the offer.

“I love Duke, in addition to college basketball. I love working at a university environment. You’re surrounded by great people, not just in sports.”

Krzyzewski also said he had an interview with the Celtics in 1990, and that the Lakers offered him in 2005.
