Someone needs to remind Larry Krystkowiak that he is the head coach of a basketball program that finished 6-25 last season with an RPI of 274. Or in other words, remind him that he presides over one of the worst basketball teams in the entire country. Because obviously he didn't get the memo. In today's Salt Lake Tribune, Krystkowiak was asked about resuming the basketball series with instate rival Utah State, to which Krystkowiak responded that he "would rather not play Utah State at any time." As justification, Krystkowiak pointed to Kansas and the fact that they refuse to play Wichita State, a mid-major team in their own state. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/blogsutahsports/54484821-59/state-utah-krystkowiak-playing.html.csp
Some one needs to remind Krystkowiak that he isn't coming off of a national championship run. Perhaps they could even remind him that his team is coming off of a season in which it lost to Cal State Fullerton by 31 points, to UNC Asheville by 22 points, and Boise State by 21 points. While I suppose that for recruiting purposes it would be reasonable for Krystkowiak to no longer want to play Utah State, the Utes are not to the Aggies what the Jayhawks are to the Shockers. Krystkowiak apparently had no choice in this decision and stated as much. Perhaps he is too busy establishing a relationship with his new rival Evergreen State. Best of luck to coach Krystkowiak, it looks like he will need it.
