Reevaluating the risk of Boylen's fire & Krystkowiak's hire
We won't know whether the coaching change last March was successful or not for at least a few seasons. However, that shouldn't stop us from at least speculating, with all we've seen the last few months, whether the move, right now at least, was the right one. Every time you make a coaching change,...
Chris Kupets has left the Utah program
Bill Riley has just tweeted that Chris Kupets, who played in all but three games this season, has been released from his scholarship and will transfer to Cumberland University in Tennessee. Kupets, who would have been a senior next year, averaged 7.4 points in 18.6 minutes of play. He recorded a...
Eastern Michigan Coaching Options (This Time With Substance)
The two names being floated out there are being publicized for diametrically opposite reasons: one wants it, and it wants someone else. Just like the game of love. We know that Eastern Michigan has contacted Texas Southern University regarding the availability of Tony Harvey, who has turned around...
Preston Guiot won't be playing for the Utes next year
Utah will be without the services of point guard Preston Guiot, who announced he will not be returning to the program next season. He cited the firing of Jim Boylen as the cause for his transferring to Southwest Baptist University, where he'll play under his father. This is a continuing trend of...
Will Clyburn granted a release from Utah
This is not a surprise, since Clyburn had his foot out the door even before Larry Krystkowiak was announced as head coach earlier this week. "Will just wanted to go closer to home. It was really just in the back of his mind that he wanted to go someplace closer," said Brynjarsson in a phone...
Krystkowiak's first big recruit? A coaching staff that can recruit
The biggest knock against Larry Krystkowiak's resume is his lack of recruiting. Talk to Montana fans and they'll tell you it's a big reason why he left the Grizzlies five years ago for the NBA - he doesn't like to recruit. Of course, recruiting to Montana is different than recruiting to Salt Lake...
Why Krystkowiak ain't Jim Boylen or Ray Giacoletti
Not Giacoletti...yet I'm going to try something different here and go a bit positive on ya'. I'm not really sure what to make of the Krystkowiak hire, but I'm ready to give it a try. At least until the first loss. Okay. So when I first heard Krystkowiak's name batted around (again) last week, I...
Blaine Taylor, not a candidate, gushes over Utah job
Far be it from me to tell Chris Hill how to do his job because he's done some great things for the Utes. However, in the wake of these Larry Krystkowiak rumors, I am concerned he could be botching yet another hire here at Utah. Don't get me wrong. If Larry Krystkowiak is the guy, I will support...
Is Larry Krystkowiak Chris Hill's leading candidate?
Bill Riley is reporting former Montana head coach Larry Krystkowiak feels he's a leading candidate for the job. Krystkowiak even believes it could happen as early as tomorrow. Of course, the quote is fairly vague and I don't exactly know if Krystkowiak believes he'll be announced as head coach, or...
Coaching search continues; Is Lon Kruger a candidate?
It's been two weeks since Jim Boylen was fired as Utah's head coach and, outside the Randy Bennett news last week, there is no indication from Chris Hill he's found his man. So we're left waiting...and waiting...and waiting. CBS' Seth Davis reported Friday that former Alabama head coach Mark...
