Coach Artest?
Hungry Kings chew up Nuggets
By Chris Tomasson, Rocky Mountain News
April 16, 2006

A year ago, Ron Artest was charging into the stands and getting a 73-game suspension. Now, he’s thinking about molding young minds.

After Saturday’s 100-82 win over the Denver Nuggets at the Pepsi Center, the Sacramento Kings forward talked about one day being a coach. He specifically would like to coach Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony, whom he held to 15 points on 5-of-13 shooting.

"I wish I had a chance to work with him,’’ Artest said. "Hopefully, one day I can be a coach and coach a guy like Carmelo Anthony. He's got to move a little more, pass to his teammates a little more, do more without the ball. ‘If you're not scoring, do something else.’ I think I would tell him that, but I don't want to give him too many of my tips. He got frustrated a couple of times (Saturday) when he got passed up, but that happens sometimes, you are going to get passed up. You just keep playing.’’

Nuggets coach George Karl said the Nuggets didn’t execute well enough for Anthony to have success against Artest. Anthony declined comment.

Its fitting. he already owns a team, why not make him a coach. The all-Artest owned team notables: Melo, Bron, Ginobli, Vlad Rad, Kobe (one game.) Well, maybe when Artest is coaching him, Mello can ask to have thet "Property of Artest" stamp removed from his forehead.
