Rutgers fired Mike Rice after disturbing video leaked of him berating and attacking his players, and Lawrence Frank has been mentioned as a possible replacement. Adrian Wojnarowski and Pat Forde of Yahoo! Sports:

 Another strong candidate for the Rutgers job could be Detroit Pistons coach Lawrence Frank, sources told Yahoo! Sports. Pernetti expressed interest with Frank before the hiring of Rice four years ago, but he decided to stay on the NBA track. Frank had significant success as the coach of the New Jersey Nets for six-plus seasons, reaching the Eastern Conference semifinals three times. He also has a collegiate background as an assistant with Marquette and Tennessee.
 
What’s more, Frank could be open to the return to New Jersey, where his wife, Susan, has been ill. He left the Pistons for six games to be with her and his two children during the season.

itd be great if he stepped down for that job. itd be great for him, and the school, and most importantly us. i dont knock him for our troubles but id really like to see gores(not dumars) hire a mote high profile coach.

i doubt he gets to the open market but man would i like lional hollins or maybe take a run at nate mcmillan.

What about Mike Malone?  He's the real coach on that Golden State staff.

im sure most fans would be upset if we didnt get a proven head coach. weve only been able to hire coaches with minimal experience since flip saunders.
