Thanks for the summary proud Ute. I have a good feeling about Jensen. The stars are aligning at just the right time. Go Alex!! Go Utes!!

Good summary, thank you.

Yeah, it sounds as if Smith was either very stubborn in his ways or he had some paranoia that former fan favorites would upstage him. Not sure what it is, but if you get offered that kind of help for free and don’t take it…. I don’t know what your thought process is.

If this in indeed true…

Of all the questionable decisions Smith made or was rumored to make, this would be by far the worst. You have a university legend of an ex-player, all-American, longtime NBA player, experienced pro coach who calls you and wants to work on your staff as a VOLUNTEER…and you say no!?

If you make decisions that bad, stay…[Read more]

This is correct. He offered to be on Craig’s staff for free but Smith said no thanks.

I’m sure you thought that was quite the zinger, however Smith’s son was not the GM. He is an administrative admin.

Several reports indicated Andre tried to join Craig Smith’s staff last year, but Smith ultimately declined. Sounds very much to me like Andre has the interest.

What? You mean he doesn’t have a son that would make a good GM? 🙂

Andre has a net worth of about 50 million I don’t think money is a concern.

He loves to Coach and he wants to do it at Utah.

He’s living his best life.

I don’t think Alex would take the job if the NIL wasn’t competitive

Alex is hiring a staff with mostly NBA experience. The new NIL will make Utah very competitive in recruiting.

Top 100 recruits care about two things. The NBA and money. Utah will have both of those.

He’s hiring an Utah Bball GM from an NBA front office.

College is less and less about college anymore. These programs are being run like mini n…[Read more]

I believe this one is owned by FOX. Made for TV tournament in Vegas.

Left out of the NCAA’s from those conferences. the ACC and SEC decided to not participate, so their top 2 NET teams left out of the NCAA’s go to the NIT, contractually.

Is that the correct pecking order, or is the NIT still second behind the NCAA? Sounds like it could be a better field than the NIT if it high grades teams with a high NET that didn’t make the NCAA. Or when you say “left out” do you mean of both the NCAA and NIT?

It’s ANOTHER post season tournament, trying to slot in between the NCAA’s and the NIT driven by FOX. It takes the top 2 left out from the Big East, Big Ten, and Big 12 – plus 10 at larges. Because of it, the NIT got rid of the auto bids for those leagues.

So, we have the NCAA’s, CBC, NIT, and the CBI.

Yeah. What is this?
