Finding a coach in the heartland?
Larry Krystkowiak declined to return my calls, but he might have taken one from athletic director Chris Hill.

One source close to the Utes' coaching search said Krystkowiak is believed to have been contacted by Hill in his hunt to replace Ray Giacoletti - and that the assistant for the Milwaukee Bucks indicated he was interested in the job.

Now, that's not confirmed.

But it would make sense, explaining both Krystkowiak's reluctance to speak to a reporter about the opening as well as the urgency for the Utes to be rid of Giacoletti before the season even concluded. It probably wouldn't be hard for the two to get together, either, with the Bucks astonishingly home until March 26 and Hill working this week just 270 miles away in Indianapolis with the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee.

Time will tell, I guess ...
