Brad Rock: Utah Utes gymnastics plan: it takes 2 to tango

Greg is emotional and blunt, she is even and composed. He gets flack for things he says in the heat of the moment, she is a skilled communicator. He's high strung and dramatic, she's steady and reasonable.

He once pulled his team off the floor during a meet to protest a judge he thought unfairly penalized his team. Meanwhile, his verbal bouts with rival coaches made news more than once.

"I'm more volatile than she is," said Greg. "That leads me to say sometimes things that are not carefully thought out in advance."

Which led me to asking whether she ever says, "Greg, why did you SAY that? or "What were you THINKING?"

"Happens all the time," he said. "I think she did that just about an hour ago."

My wife asks me that sort of thing, too.

But at least not while I'm at work.
