Lawrence Frank Denies Yahoo Sports Report

Yahoo Sports is reporting that Lawrence Frank could be a candidate for the now vacant Rutgers coaching job. The Scarlet Knights are searching for a replacement for Mike Rice, who was fired this morning after controversial videos of him abusing players were shown by ESPN. Frank is a native of New Jersey and his wife, Susan, and their kids remain there as Mrs. Frank has been ill. Frank, contacted today by the Ticket's Matt Dery, says "I am the coach of the Pistons and have not been contacted by anyone." Frank has one year remaining on a three year contract with the Pistons, which contains a team option for a fourth year.
