Forget about Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski going to the New Jersey Nets.

Through a school spokesman, Krzyzewski said Monday that he isn't interested in the job. He was asked about the job after a report in the Bergen (N.J.) Record citing anonymous sources said Monday that incoming Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov would offer Krzyzewski $12 million to $15 million per season to coach the team.

"I haven't been contacted," Krzyzewski said in the statement. "I wouldn't have any interest in the job. You would be flattered if someone would offer you a job, but I would not be interested."

In 2004, Krzyzewski turned down an offer reported to be worth $40 million over five years to coach the Los Angeles Lakers.

He said last summer that Duke would be his last coaching job, and made a similar comment Sunday, the day before the Blue Devils met Butler in the NCAA championship game.

"I'll be at Duke even after I stop coaching," he said. "You know, that's where I'm going to be."
