Superb Independent article on Coach K

[Silvertip]

This week's edition of the Independent, Missoula's alternative paper, has an excellent cover piece on Larry. Well worth a read!

I think they need to get this writer on The Missoulian Staff! Excellent, here is the link

backer- now what am I going to do with the same link I was getting ready to "paste"? :tounge: This is probably the best and most candid sports article I've ever read in any Missoula newspaper. :clap:

Whiz,

If yo had not been in the Men's Room "reading the articles" while I was posting this then you would have had a use for it. :laugh:

Late 1999: The Indy does a cover story related to griz basketball>>>they win the BSC title that very same season.

Late 2005: The Indy does a cover story related to griz basketball>>>???

Wow - tremendous and timely article. He seems like the ideal college coach.

Larry Krystowiak is a great person and an excellent coach. It's impossible for even Bobcat fans to dislike the guy. He's brought back the Grizzly program, and as I said on another post (but for football) a good Griz basketball team and a good Bobcat basketball team are good for the state of Montana. Here's to a Cat-Griz championship game!

I usually don't care for the Indy but that was a great article. I really liked the fact that people actually mentioned how horrible for the Griz program Pat Kennedy was. Guffey says fans actually left the program because of PK & Criswell wonders why he even came here. We should all be very happy that LK is here & hopefully to stay for a long time.

I hope coach K stays for a long time. But if he doesn't, becuase I have a feeling bigger programs will be looking at him soon enough, I think Tinkle could step in and keeps us un the right path. Promoting from the inside was big for us the last time around, and he just seems to be a good fit for this university.

Thanks for the props, Boz. And I agree. I'd love to see the BSC championship come down to the two Montana schools (in Missoula, naturally!!).

grzz voices a recurrent theme rooted, I suspect, in some sense of inferiority that we all live with as Griz fans. It works like this. If we aren't plagued by some incompetent we'd like to dump then it's a successful coach who we hope no big bad bully school will notice of and take him away from us! Funny, we already have Tinkle as a "coaching candidate for the second time in two years. Sort of like being the science class geek with a pocket protector and tape on the bridge of your glasses hitting it off with the new babe in class while wondering when the good looking jocks will show up. Ah life!

Coach K is and has always been a class act. He's from my original home town so I've always looked up to him.

I have read this article not but five minutes ago and it was a great write up. I was glad to see that the team really likes him and I hope he sticks around for years to come...
