That's probably alright. Could be he felt like he needed one, too. Maybe if you got out of that closet more...
But I heard Laettner speak this morning on AM 790 the Zone in Atlanta and I really enjoyed hearing his thoughts, particuarly around the tough love he administered to Hurley, which tied in of course to the tough love that Ferry rendered on him as a freshman.
God I need a shower....

Man, if your Mom made you wear that color when you were a baby, and you're still wearing it, it's time to grow up!
I recently raised the idea of Christian joining Chris Collins' staff at Northwestern, but how perfect would it be if Christ went to work with Bobby Hurley at Buffalo? That tandem might make otherwise mundane and boring Buffalo pretty attractive for certain recruits.
Laettner is living in Florida with his wife and two daughter. "Hey, guys!" the big guy sez, "We are moving to Buffalo, New York. You'll love the snow and ice; it'll be a nice change from Florida." Hmmm... sounds like a hard sell, unless the economics are compelling.

Good point, and it would also coincide with Laettner's comments in recent years about wanting to get into coaching. An assistant coach at the D-I level isn't a bad place to start. Personally, I would love to see it, but, as you say, we have no idea what plans Bobby has for his program.
Does anybody know who is joining Bobby at Buffalo? Any Duke guys?
Didn't Little Pitino just do this very thing? I bet his family wasn't too happy when he alerted them that they would be leaving Key West for the North Pole.
Besides, is Christian's personal life really going that well for him in the business world that he can't afford to uproot? It might be a good change for him.
Not necessarily if that's something Chris (my name is also Chris so I like the nickname) desires to do. In that scenario, starting as an assistant at a MAC school for his former Duke teammate Bobby Hurley sounds like a good in/starting point to me. As others have stated here before, it's very unlikely that he's be able to just hop on board at Duke. He's going to need some experience somewhere else first.
Again, that's if Chris even wants to pursue a career in coaching.
Apart from the fact that he very much enjoys celebrating his status as the most hated player in NCAA history, he's sounded generally grounded and humble in the recent interviews I've heard with him. Talks about his family and his basketball camp a lot, and occasionally mentions that he'd possibly like to coach.
I just recently watched the 1991 UNLV game on NCAA vault, and in the opening minutes of the broadcast Jim Nantz says "don't call him Chris" because of his brother Chris, and then went on to talk about how Chris was a minor league umpire. That was the first time I'd heard of Chris Laettner, and strangely I had never thought to call him "Chris" at all before that.
