Marshall reached out to Mike D'Antoni to gauge his interest in coaching his alma mater

According to ESPN, Marshall University has reached out to Los Angeles Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni to gauge his interest in coaching his alma mater, according to sources close to the process.

Sources stressed D'Antoni is highly unlikely to make such a switch even if the Lakers opt for a change at season's end. Although he has served as an unofficial sounding board for school officials in the past, D'Antoni has coached only at the pro level.
