Larry Krystkowiak reportedly close to Utah Utes job
At the end of last season, Larry Krystkowiak said he would never leave the Griz for another college coaching job. Apparently that didn't mean leaving for an NBA team for most of a season then heading back to the college realm.Michael C. Lewis' Utes Basketball Blog, done in association with the Salt Lake Tribune, has been on this story for quite some time but big news comes courtesy of ESPN.
According to Andy Katz, reporting via a source close to the situation, LK has met with Utah athletic director Chris Hill and is very interested in the job.
Of course I'd be happy to see a LK, who has done so much for the program, succeed at any level. However, I really couldn't help but be extremely jealous and wonder what could've been here in Missoula if he goes on to lead the Utes to any semblance of hoops prominence.Hill, meanwhile, is on the NCAA Tournament selection committee and would probably like to wrap up the search rather quickly since he must be in Sacramento this weekend and will be busy with the tournament the rest of the month.
The source told ESPN.com that if Krystkowiak is offered the job he is likely to accept and a decision could be made within days.
