I guess it will be a reconstruction and not a lift job…

They really do need a more modern (smaller, like 9k for bball, but 15k at gymnastics is great) arena with more boxes and better experience. They are still considering options, but wouldn’t be surprised if this ends up as part of the downtown development. I hope it stays on campus, but not that optimistic. The U just got the last 50 acres of Ft. Douglas.

I don’t disagree for basketball (men’s or women’s), but what do you do about gymnastics pulling 15k into the stadium? I haven’t been around the campus in a while, but seems like there’s more non-sports events at Kingsbury than JHC (concerts, etc.). For graduations, a smaller arena is fine as only 1/2 of the JHC is used. I would assume they’d keep practice facilities on campus and only games would be at the new arena, but they need to find other stuff to fill it up since practice would be up the hill.

\Getting to a downtown stadium (for students) is just a quick trax ride down the hill. It would compete with all the other downtown venues (Jazz, UHC, arts/music) but could continue the improvement of the area.

I’ve seen 1 on the Swift shot

Says he had a nagging neck injury recently and could have been activated for the game, but wasn’t quite there yet. He’ll get a ring

The old adage ‘if you can’t do, coach’. His size probably limited him and buried on the depth chart led to fewer reps to get better. As a grad assistant, not like he’s a lead/position coach, but will be, well, assisting and learning. Could end up working up through college ranks over the years or go high school – but creating future options for himself. I don’t get why everyone wants stars to be the coaches – some of the best coaches were not that great in college (and some didn’t even play). Being a star doesn’t necessarily translate to being a good coach because ‘they’ve been there’.

#12 all time NBA Assists …

[DataUte]

hmm, maybe like AD and now NIL type stuff? hmm

[DataUte]

Yep, picked last. Reminds me of some coach K teams picked low and end up middle of PAC12 and all one could say was, “well, I guess they exceeded expectations but still were mediocre.”

Can’t miss the Czech stop! Get way too many kolaches!
