Jeff Judkins

[RC Vikings]

Every time the HC job at Utah comes open I wonder why didn't Judkins stay at Utah? I imagine he would have been first in line for the job as soon as Majerus left. Does he feel like he blew a big opportunity by moving or he is happy doing what he's doing? I know he didn't leave to coach girls basketball but I'm not sure what the rest of the story is. Any insite from those in the know.

I don't think Judkins had much of choice. He was getting pushed out at Utah by Majerus.

It was pretty common knowledge, at least among people I know, that Majerus forced Juddy out. I think he would have loved to stay but Majerus wouldn't let him. I have no idea the source of animosity/dissatisfaction between the two.
