Mike Krzyzewski has rejected NBA overtures from the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers since he became Duke's men's basketball coach in 1980.

On Saturday night, he said the Minnesota Timberwolves won't be luring him away either.

While a published report said the Timberwolves were interested in hiring Krzyzewski as they were moving to fire coach Kurt Rambis last week, the coach said through a school spokesman that it was a non-starter.

Duke spokesman Matt Plizga said he spoke with Krzyzewski Saturday night and the coach said "no one had contacted him and he hadn't contacted anyone" about the Minnesota job.
