Miami Heat forward Udonis Haslem, who played for Kansas State coach Frank Martin at Miami High School, hopes his former coach has a shot at the Miami Hurricanes' vacant coaching position.

Haslem played said Friday that "if you don't at least interview Coach Frank for that job, you're making a big mistake."

Martin, who is 95-43 in four seasons with K-State, has appeared interested in the Miami job recent weeks, however he said he has not spoken with anyone at the school.
