And no problem finding a good coach either. Ask Wyoming and UNM how hard it is.

I was surprised Hill chose Giac, whom I believe should stay there until he retires from coaching.
However, Majerus showed he would be successful. How successful was uncertain but he showed his stuff at Ball State for crying out loud. Giac has been mediocre wherever he went. His Sweet Sixteen appearance shows he's not incompetent, as I can't remember BYU's last Sweet Sixteen, it's too faint. Did Reid have one or not? Or was Arnold the last coach to produce a Sweet Sixteen? Pimm had some, Majerus had several and even Giac had one. What a condemnation of our program. How will BYU replace Young? He's a great player and Otero looks more like a defensive stopper.

Maybe you could find recruits that read The Sporting News.

Has Boise St ever even gone to the NCAA Tournament. Basically Utah is exactly like UNLV, once we get a coach we will be great again. It is just a matter of getting that coach. This argument has gotten ridiculous though, because you are throwing Boise St into the mix. Wow. |

The commonality with these schools is that you don't have a recruiting base, you don't have a fan base, you don't have national recognition, but you all have a chance to be good with a good coaching hire who can recruit out of California. |

Wasn't UNM slightly more successful in Basketball just last year than Utah was? I seem to remember the two teams playing in the postseason.

I'm just trying to serve my beloved Ute brethren by easing your expectations a little. I'm afraid you guys are going to be suicidal if a new coach doesn't have you back at that #11 level you've been the last 100 years.

Utah- UNM seems a decent comparison, since UNM is hoops crazy. The others seem untenable. BYU also fits in about that same mold. IMO the Utes overachieved under Majerus. The Utes need to, and probably get rid of the Giac and New Mexico needs to be rid of Ritchie McKay.
