Coach Shares Memories of Seniors
Coach Jim Boylen managed to avoid tearing up again when asked after the season-ending loss in the NCAA Tournament what he would remember most about his four departing seniors -- center Luke Nevill, guards Lawrence Borha and Tyler Kepkay and forward Shaun Green – but did have some poignant thoughts to share.
"I'm going to remember the tough days, the days when they didn't like me very much, and then I'm going to remember the days that we improved, when we grew together and we trusted each other," he said. "You know, there's things that cannot be taken away from these guys now. They won the league championship, won the conference tournament, won the Wilkes championship. These guys won three championships this year. These guys have never won anything in their lives. Lawrence Borha said, 'I've never won anything in my life.' That's what I remember.
"These guys are leaving winners," he added. "They're leaving Utes, and they'll be Utes forever and they'll be my guys forever."
