    I think that is more likely it. He seems to be just like other posters on message boards. He talks about how terrible this hiring process has been...yet I don't think he has a clue and on top of that, he has been pushing Tommy Connor like there is no tomorrow. I don't mind Locke...but I don't look for him for inside knowledge on Utah and BYU hoops or football.

      Yep, and as was noted earlier the only reason he's been carrying the Connor banner was based on the comments of former players. He knows as much or as little as you and me.

      • I don't know anything about possible coaches for the U, but I sure wish their basketball team would be good again!

          Another possible meaning: He wants out of California and fancies Utah as a great place to live!!!

          • So either Locke has no idea what he's talking about (most likely) or Bennet has spurned the Utes a second time.

              Locke seems like he has a bone to pick in this fight. What did the good doctor do to Locke, anyone?

                We don't know that Bennett has spurned the Utes even a first time. Maybe, maybe not. There's no reliable info.

                • According to sources the Utah coaching search is a two man game right now - Randy Bennett or Larry krystkowiak
                  ...Gotta be something with these two as it is the only names that have stuck.

                        Yes. I wonder if he enjoys watching all the spasms of joy, hope and horror based on what internet boards say he is doing or not doing?

                        • Holy crap! Bennett or krystkowiak? Even Solomon never faced a dilemma so perplexing! This must be what it feels like when lottery winners have to choose between lump sum or annuity.

                            And people say BYU threw their basketball program under the bus for conference realignment...

                              Excellent analysis.

                              But be careful. Some folks don't like such analysis when determining whether or not a coach receives an offer. It can get realy ugly really quickly.

                              For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                              Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
