ill admit i was a little underwhelmed with the hire, especially after hearing oregon was going after guys like tom izzo, but i am happy I was wrong. Under Ernie Kent, Oregon would essentially recruit one strong recruiting class once every 4 years, would make a sweet 16 or elite 8 appearance, then they would suck for 3 years. In his final few seasons, it got even worse. Oregon was essentially what OSU was this year for 4 seasons. Altman has improved oregon every year he has been there.
I know people here dont like brooks, his on court antics rub people the wrong way, he’s the kind of guy you love to hate, but when I see some on here talk bad about his character, its unfair. he’s a pretty nice, educated and humble guy, he’s actually pretty soft spoken off the court. In todays games, you need a balance of “assholes” on the court , it helps push the team.
Utah has had fantastic teams over the last few years, and we’ve all seen that they are good enough to beat anyone, but lack something that prevents them from being an elite contender, and IMO, that something is their own “asshole” Utah needs to find that kind of skilled player that can get under other peoples skin.
