ASU Basketball: Utah’s change in identity helped it conform

Far from naive, Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak knows the game of basketball is changing.

He also knows that neither Delon Wright nor Jakob Poeltl is walking through the doors of the Jon M. Huntsman Center anytime soon, at least not to suit up for the Utes.

The eighth-year coach has restored order to a program that won six games during his first season in Salt Lake City, twice taking the Utes to the NCAA Tournament, including a Sweet 16 appearance in 2015 with both of the aforementioned players on his roster.
