Buzz Peterson is leaving coaching to join Michael Jordan.

Peterson resigned Tuesday as coach at Coastal Carolina to become director of player personnel for the Bobcats. Jordan, Peterson's former college roommate and teammate at North Carolina, is part-owner of the Bobcats and has final say on all basketball decisions.

Peterson was 35-25 in two seasons with the Chanticleers, who hired him after he was fired as Tennessee's coach in 2005. Before his four seasons with the Volunteers, Peterson coached at Tulsa and Appalachian State.
