The Toledo Blade reported in today's edition that Gonzaga assistant coach Ray Giacoletti is the frontrunner for the Toledo Rockets' head coaching job. The short article is incorrect, Giacoletti said Wednesday.

"Print it: No interest, not going to happen," Giacoletti said in a brief telephone interview. "I don't know where it came from or why or how. ... It's not even an option either direction."

Giacoletti is good friends with Toledo A.D. Mike O'Brien, which might have prompted the speculation. Toledo is replacing Gene Cross, who resigned after two years with an 11-53 record. The Rockets were 4-28, 1-15 in the Mid-American Conference, last season.
