No, he's mine! Bucks consider replacing Stotts with Krystkowiak
The Salt Lake Tribune reports today that Larry Krystkowiak interviewed yesterday for the Utah Utes head coaching position and is their top candidate. Because this was mentioned yesterday by ESPN (they probably stole another scoop), the most interesting news in this story is that it has ignited a bit of chaos in the Milwaukee Bucks organization as they ponder making LK their head coach before the Utes can.
Athletic director Chris Hill and other university officials interviewed assistant coach Larry Krystkowiak of the Milwaukee Bucks for the position Tuesday in Milwaukee and they are believed to have offered him the job, sources told The Salt Lake Tribune.
The interview ignited a series of meetings involving high-ranking Bucks officials, sources said, which endured into the night and included U.S. Sen. Herb Kohl, the team owner. The Bucks were grappling with whether they plan to fire embattled head coach Terry Stotts and replace him with Krystkowiak - a move that presumably would keep Krystkowiak from joining the Utes.
However, if Krystkowiak were to quickly accept an offer from the Utes, an announcement conceivably could come today, before Hill is due to attend the NCAA Tournament games Thursday in Sacramento, Calif.
Wow. For all of you that thought Krystkowiak was curiously hired by the Bucks to eventually become their head coach, it's looking like you were right. He's like some hot prospect they don't want to bring up to soon but wouldn't dare let go because they know he'll be good. Ladies and gentleman, Larry Krystkowiak is the Felix Hernandez of 2007. And Terry Stotts is Jamie Moyer.
More information on the Krystkowiak/Chris Hill meeting here.
UPDATE: AD Chris Hill says he has met with Krystkowiak but has not officially offered him the job. Another meeting is planned. Here's an interesting clip from that article regarding the Bucks' perspective:
Highly regarded in both college and pro basketball for his engaging personality and basketball knowledge, Krystkowiak is widely known as a favorite of Kohl, one of the most respected owners in the NBA. However, Kohl is said to be torn over what to do about Stotts, who has led the Bucks to a 23-41 record this season but endured a series of devastating injuries.
It always helps when the owner is on your side, just ask Joe Girardi.
