Dennis Rodman to coach topless women's basketball team

Dennis Rodman is making his return to basketball, this time coaching a topless women's basketball team.

Rodman said that he plans to recruit his team from New York's Headquarters Gentlemen's Club, where he has been a patron for 30 years, according to The New York Post.

"I don't know too many men that don't like a good-looking woman running up and down around the court," Rodman told the Post.

The idea was sparked by the strip club Rick's Cabaret, which formed the topless Rick's Basketball Association during the NBA lockout, to boost morale. Rick's disbanded their team when the lockout ended.

"They'll come out in a T-shirt or a tank top, but when the game starts, they'll go topless," Rodman said of his plan. "You don't have to have too much experience, just know how to throw the ball into the hole."

Rodman appeared in the 2009 season of "Celebrity Apprentice," lasting five episodes. He then battled his alcohol addiction on VH1's reality series "Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew" and "Sober House."

Rodman retired from the NBA in 2000 after playing with the Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks. Considered the "bad boy" of the NBA, Rodman was entered into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011.

Rodman made OnTheRedCarpet.com's list of the Shortest Celebrity Marriages for his nine day marriage to Carmen Electra. The pair got married in Las Vegas on November 14, 1998. Nine days later, Rodman filed for an annulment, claiming he was of 'unsound mind' at the time of the nuptials. The pair briefly reconciled but parted for good five months later. Rodman was also romantically linked to Madonna.
