Coach Raves on Play-Making Brown
One final thought before putting the blog on holiday hold until the weekend ...
Forward Carlon Brown continues to show that he's by far the Utes' best play-maker. Not only did he throw down another hellacious dunk in the loss at Utah State last night, but he basically took over point guard duties down the stretch, and made an absolutely clutch driving lay-up to tie the game with 30 seconds left.
"He continues to make play after play after play," coach Jim Boylen said. "I'm proud of him. He's a big-time player."
Brown finished with 11 points, and it should also be noted -- after wondering what had become of him the past few games -- that forward Kim Tillie pulled down 10 rebounds to help the Utes win the rebounding battle for the first time in five games, though they really could have used a couple more in the final two minutes.
And just so you know, the Utes are all planning to have dinner at Boylen's house on Christmas Day -- catered, he said, because he did not want to volunteer his wife to cook. "I want to keep my marriage together," he joked. Inexplicably, though, he refused to tell me what time to be there. Better show up early, just in case ...
Happy Holidays!

If Brown keeps playing well, Boylen will have him come off the bench and start Cyphers, nothing against Cyphers, but this "let's not start our good players" philosphy is a JOKE! Can't wait for Swoop to start so Luke can come in the game off the bench. Just think of the potential of Kobe coming off the bench for the Lakers, he would be eight times the player he is now. FIRE BOYLEN!
I'm hoping Coach Boylen will continue to explore Brown at the point along with Drca, this kid can be devastating off the dribble sometimes. Even Kepkay is starting to exert himself more now that he doesn't have the pressure of playing point. Coach Boylen just needs to keep these guys focused on the fundamentals, blocking out, rebounding and free throws and we can get back on track this weekend before we face Gonzaga next week.
Go Utes!!!!
