Friendship With Jordan Lures Peterson To Bobcats
Posted Jun 22, 2007
Buzz Peterson is preparing for the withdrawal symptoms. Peterson has spent the past 20 years as a college basketball coach. He's the guy who after being fired at Tennessee, almost immediately took over at Coastal Carolina because he said coaching was in his blood. But when Peterson picked up the phone and the best man in his wedding, Michael Jordan, was at the other end offering him a front office job with the Charlotte Bobcats, he couldn't pass it up.
