    I do not read you to be saying LK should have done so, under the circumstances he had to deal with. Am I right?

      He should have done his best to try and keep Clyburn and O'Brien under the circumstances he had to deal with. Maybe he did try his best, I don't know.

        I agree, and I don't know either. Maybe someday we will.

          Huh? I am confused, you don't think that Krystko tried to keep those 2 players? Those were the only 2 players that left that Krystko mentioned in public that he was working with and waiting on a decision. He wanted those guys. Those guys wanted to get out and start over somewhere else.

              No, I got that. I just find it weird that you wonder if he tried his best to keep his 2 best players. He obviously tried enough to keep Hines, Washburn, Jiggy and Washburn...I would think he would try to keep OBrien and Clyburn without adding the disclaimer 'maybe he did try his best, I don't know.'

              That disclaimer could be put on any claim to cast subtle doubt on all comments, such as 'Maybe Coach Krystkoviak really is trying to win games for the Utes, but I don't know.' 'Maybe that fireman tried hard to save that kid who died in the fire, I don't know.' I just found your disclaimer amusing.

                US, ignore him. He's crazy.

                  There is so much we don't know about what went on with those two that I think speculating about it is even sillier than most sports fan speculation. I am 100% certain LK tried his best to do what's best for the program. That's matters most to me. He's the head coach.

                      I am wondering who else utah will beat this year. We are losing by 30 to a team picked to finish last in the mwc.

                        I've been listening on the radio as I drove to a meeting. (Parked now. Other motorists are safe.) I'm glad I'm not watching, because even listening has been excruciating. If we win 10 this year it'll be a miracle.

                            10?? Try 5 wins. This team has no one who can score.

                              Watched the 2nd half w/ Mrs. hostile. Her first comment - "We are losing by 25 to a team with a player from 'A Flock of Seagulls'!?!" It is going to be a LONG season.

                                Would it help if I told you they'd suck too with Clyburn, O'Brien, and Boylen?
