Legend and Glory Missed.

Coach Tinks has the ability to keep Griz Hoops on the upswing.
Chances ae very good that he can keep the ball rolling. He is a
great guy who deserves sucess. But........

Larry K gave away a opportunity that few coaches ever receive.
Win 4 titles and have some success in March and he becomes a
legend which puts the Griz at the verge of D1 serioness with
recruits taking a look. I believe that the Wife called the shots.
Larry is a great guy who will regret this decision.

Stop this %#@* about always blaming Jan for Larry K.'s choices. Larry has always wanted to be a NBA coach. Coaching in the college ranks was just a means to acheve his goals. A no lose situation presented it self to Larry and he went for it. There is no doubt in my mind if Larry was single , no kids and the same oppertunity presented itself he would have taken the job with the Bucks. Maybe Jan is happy to move back to a place she grew up in, but I bet not as happy as Larry is to finally step back up into the Big League.

Just want to wish Coach Krystkowiak and Coach Tinkle the very best and much success in their new endeavors, good luck guys! :clap:

One thing many forget is that LK is just as beloved in Milwaukee as he is in Missoula. It is a working class town, and LK is the epitome of working class.

Tinks will do just fine, he has some talent returning, and with a good year, everyone will be climbing aboard the Tinkle Bandwagon. Tinks deserves the shot, he will never do anything to embarass UM, and he is loyal to UM when he could have left many times.

I wish Larry all the best. If it were me I would stick in the college ranks forever. What happens if Stotts doesn't make it after next year and Del harris becomes a coach again? The college game gives a little more breathing room.
