Larry Krystkowiak and the 2011-12 Utah Utes

[MartyFunkhouser]

Did Gottfried want the Utah job?

We could have had him if we wanted him, but the genius that gave us Boylen and Giacoletti thought that Krysto was the better option.

I'm curious as to how you know Utah could have had him as coach. Did he say he wanted the job or are you speculating?

[Surfah]

funk, you and Portland are going to be vying for the Eeyore award. I've been watching the feed and the improvement in play is obvious. There's some pretty good evidence that Krysko can coach.

Admittedly I haven't watched Utah much, but if what I saw today of Utah you call improvement, well, it may take years for you guys to get back.

[BGRTHNUMEGO]

He just lost to Montana St, how is that evidence that he can coach. Montana St finished 5th in the Big Sky last year.

Lost at home to a Montana St team that shot less than 30% from three and 50% from the line.

If you had seen the earlier games you'd see the improvement. Yes, there's a long way to go, but that's not exactly a news flash.

I did watch most of the Adams State game. I am not sure I saw what you did.

OK.

What improvement? Improvement over the Boylen isn't enough. Boylen was so bad that most high school coaches would be an improvement and could make it look like we are running an offense out there. I agree the team looked better coached than a Boylen team, but that isn't enough.

So you are saying we might only be the 2nd worst team in D1 basketball not the worst?

I am getting the impression that your mind is made up on this subject.

Hey Boylen is coaching the Lakers.

Montana State only lost by six at Arizona State. Maybe their ok. Maybe ASU is a team that ya'll could beat.

[LA Ute]

Seriously, it looked to me like they were playing much more intelligently, systematically and with discipline than in the earlier games I saw. That's coaching. Sometimes they simply didn't have the ability to stop an opponent. That's talent. It's not much, but it's reassuring to me that Krysko has some obvious coaching ability. The talent part of the problem is going to take a while to fix.

Utah will have competition for suckitude in the Pac. The Pac looks bad this year. Arizona was supposed to be the banner carrier but they lost to Miss. State. This after looking terrible in the preseason. Also, UCLA is now 0-2 with losses to Loyola Marymount and Middle Tennessee State.

[MarkGrace]

I wonder if Montana St. feels good about the win or if they're waiting until they get to the Big Sky season where they'll see better competition before they judge themselves.

[UteStar]

Funk, maybe you want to actually go to a game or watch a game before you throw Krystko under the bus. Sheesh.
