In this week's TribUte newsletter, beat writer Josh Newman looks a vacancy on the Utah men's basketball coaching staff.
December 21, 2021, Salt Lake City, UT: The University of Utah Utes Men’s Basketball team takes on the Fresno State Bulldogs at the Jon M. Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City, Utah on Tuesday, December 21, 2021. I was texting back and forth with an assistant coach earlier this week. Someone previously on a Pac-12 staff, but who has since taken a job outside the region.
Whoever Craig Smith hires, he needs to be a “Utah guy.” To clarify that, not necessarily a former Ute, although that would be viewed as a plus depending on which former Ute, but a coach with a strong connection to the state. I’ve thought some more about this, and while I don’t think you should pigeonhole yourself as just looking at a “Utah guy,” hiring the right “Utah guy” does a few things. For one, it gives you a jolt of renewed credibility. Credibility within the state’s high school/AAU scene, credibility within the fan base, which, again, appears fixated on one particular “Utah guy” at the moment.
