    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Former Purdue basketball coach Gene Keady is considering coming out of retirement after being offered a position with the Toronto Raptors.

    Keady, who went 512-270 in 25 seasons with the Boilermakers, retired after last season and was fully satisfied with golfing and spending time with his wife. But Wayne Embry, the Toronto Raptors' assistant to the president, called Keady to offer him a job as a consultant or bench coach for the NBA franchise.

    Embry was the league's first black general manager. He held that post for the Milwaukee Bucks from 1971 to 1979 following an NBA playing career that included five All-Star appearances. </div>

    I saw the shot of him last game. Good idea for the Raps. They can use all the help they can get.
