Eric Musselman is the second former NBA coach to turn down a job from Spartak St. Petersburg in Russia.

Tim Floyd, formerly of the Bulls and Hornets, rejected a similar offer from the Russian team earlier this month.

Musselman, who has coached the Kings and Warriors, told Spartak on Saturday that he would not be accepting their offer.

"European basketball always has been very intriguing to me," Musselman said. "And this opportunity was a great one. It was a tough decision."
