FanHouse is coming to you live from Phoenix, covering the 2009 NBA All-Star weekend.

PHOENIX -- Kurt Rambis is the lucky one that was tasked with coaching the Rookie squad in Friday night's T-Mobile Rookie Challenge. I use the term "coaching" very loosely here, because if you've ever seen how these games play out, they end up as little more than an alley-oop and slam dunk contest very shortly after the opening tip.

Apparently though, Rambis didn't get the memo. Because he spent a good chunk of his time at the morning practice session trying to walk his team through some offensive sets and teach them some plays, and as you'll see in the following video, the players couldn't have seemed less interested in what was going on.
