Dennis Rodman Wants a Piece of the WNBA Pie

Somehow we had to know that we hadn't heard the last from Dennis Rodman.

Word is that Rodman would like to become a head coach in the WNBA, where his team -- if he were given the reins -- "would lead the league in rebounding, have a defensive-minded identity, and we'd run the triangle offense."

Excellent. So Dennis, if you'll just sign right here and date here, we'll find you a team shortly.

The league has 14 teams, and I'm guessing most of them are pretty satisfied with their coaches. (Fun fact: Bill Laimbeer and Tree Rollins, two of Dennis Rodman's former Pistons teammates, are currently manning head coaching positions.) At least, I doubt any owner or general manager would read of Rodman's interest and immediately pick up the phone to create a vacancy just for him.

More than likely, this is just another publicity stunt by Rodman. Come to think of it, what part of his life isn't?
