Players hoping for 24-hour coach
Perhaps predictably, nobody seemed all that shocked or devastated in the locker room following the blowout loss that put an end to both the Utes' season and coach Ray Giacoletti's tenure leading them.
Nobody distraught.
Nobody angry.
All of the players and coaches seemed to be just going about their usual business, as if the 80-54 loss to UNLV in the Mountain West Conference tournament at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas was entirely expected.
Which, of course, it was.
Now, the players can just wait and see who their new coach will be, though center Luke Nevill offered some revealing thoughts when asked what he would like to see in a new coach.
"We want a coach who teaches continuously," he said. "On and off the court - teaching all the time, I guess. ... I've found that our coach was, you know, he taught us on-court, but didn't do as much, you know, off the court. And I want someone who's just more involved in everybody's lives than currently our coach is."

Let's tell the truth here. Just like the BCS, the NCAA tournament is about money. A majority of the committee members are from BCS conferences and they protect their own. The first round itself is worth well over $100,000 per year for 5 years. Each round beyond that escalates in value. But this is how the cartel that is the NCAA works and we all have to live with it.
