"With the NBA lockout still going on, Brandon Knight found a new job on Tuesday.

Nursing a minor ankle sprain, Knight sat out of an exhibition game between former Kentucky and Western Kentucky players but ended up coaching his team.

"It was a really fun experience," said Knight, the eighth overall selection by the Detroit Pistons in the NBA draft. "I had a lot of fun coaching and talking to the guys."

Knight hurt his ankle in a "Big Blue All-Stars" exhibition played Monday as the last event in a nine-game tour against small Kentucky colleges."
