The gnawing of fingernails came to a
halt in Durham Monday after Duke head basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski
informed the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers that he will remain at the university.
After several days of speculation in
the wake of Duke athletic director
Joe Alleva's announcement last week
that Krzyzewski had "entered into serious discussions" with the Lakers "to
fill their vacant head coaching position," the school issued a release
Monday indicating the Naismith Hall of Fame member would remain with the
Blue Devils.
Krzyzewski has been Duke's head
coach since the 1980-81 season, a span during which he has led the Blue
Devils to three national championships (1991, 1992 and 2001), 10 Final Four
appearances, eight ACC Tournament championships and 10 ACC regular season
titles.
Media reports had indicated LA
general manager Mitch Kupchak offered Krzyzewski a five-year, $40 million
pact and an ownership stake in the team to succeed former coach Phil
Jackson, who left the franchise after the Detroit Pistons defeated the
Lakers for the 2004 NBA championship.
Krzyzewski has compiled a 694-240
record in 29 seasons and a 621-179 record in 24 years at Duke. Prior to
taking over the Blue Devils program, he coached his alma mater, Army, to a
73-59 record from 1975-80 and led the Black Knights to an NIT appearance in
1978.
UAB
administrator named AD at UL-Monroe
Bobby Staub, a senior associate athletics director
at UAB and a member of the Blazers' athletic staff the past 20 years, has
been named director of athletics at the University of Louisiana at Monroe.
Staub, who has held his current position at UAB
since 1997, joined the Blazers staff in 1984 as assistant ticket manager and
served as athletic ticket manager from 1985-89. He became assistant
athletics director in 1990 and remained in that position until 1995, when he
was named associate athletic director.
A 1982 graduate of Auburn with a degree in
industrial management, Staub is a member of several professional and service
organizations, including the National Association of Collegiate Marketing
Administrators (NACMA) and the National Association of Collegiate Directors
of Athletics (NACDA). Staub founded the UAB chapter of the Fellowship of
Christian Athletes and is still involved as the organization's advisor.
Staub is in his first year as a member of the NCAA
Division I Baseball Committee, and is also a member of the National
Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators, the National Association
of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and the UAB Faculty Athletic Committee.
He has been the Tournament Manager for the Conference USA Men's Basketball
Championships and has been been the UAB's liaison for the Collegiate
Licensing Company.
A native of Birmingham, Staub is married to the
former Laura Vaughan of Gainesville, GA.
