From Deseret News archives:
Timing of announcement reminiscent of 2004
And once again, the Utes' next opponent is BYU.
Just one day before the regular-season finale at the Marriott Center, Utah coach Ray Giacoletti announced his resignation Friday, setting up a scenario similar to the one the program experienced with its previous coach.
On Jan. 28, 2004, Rick Majerus said that the 2003-04 season would be his last at the school. Three days later, his team, led by assistant coach Kerry Rupp, staged a memorable comeback to defeat the Cougars at the Huntsman Center, 64-56.
The Utes trailed by 15 points at halftime but rallied behind 21-point performances from both Nick Jacobson and Andrew Bogut.
