Yes, and was told there was no place for him here. Search this site, there was a thread discussing it.

I can understand why they turned him down, though I think it was a mistake. The thing badly needed is a basketball mind.

I can't think of a single reason to turn down Jerry West. Ever!

Apparently he never met with the Lakers.
“Absolutely not. I had no contact with the Lakers. Honestly, I would’ve never gone back there even if they would’ve contacted me. Never had any conversations, never had a desire there. I knew that would’ve never happened.”

I don't know... that's a pretty definitive denial lol.
Sounds like the Jeannie haters lose one more piece of ammunition here. |

It's weird I remember an audio interview with Jeannie and she talks about why she didn't want West back. It was months ago so I'm a little fuzzy on the details |
