Comments about ‘Utah Utes basketball: Former Ute Carlon Brown headed to Colorado’

For the sake of Colorado's new coach, lets hope Carlon does not become the locker-room cancer he was at Utah.

Carlon is good enough to go play in a BCS conference, yet not good enough for Jim Boylen. This story is getting so old, can't wait for this time next year when the Utes finally get a coach.....FIRE BOYLEN!

The question of whether Carlon is good enough to play has nothing to do with the BCS which is a football designation for post season play. The BCS has nothing to do with basketball. Colorado is hardly basketball nirvana. You are obviously confused. Carlon is good enough to play, BUT you would not want him in your locker room.

don't get what's going on at the Ute program. I would like to see a story on which recruits (Brown, Henderson, etc) are Boylen's recruits and which ones are not. Is Boylen just cleaning house on another coach's recruits? this happens all the time in other programs of course. what's interesting is that you expect this sort of thing in professional sports not amateur sports which makes the argument that college athletics are in reality a "professional" sport as they are making income for the respective schools. schools do not have sports to "break even" but in fact want to make a profit. therefore college athletes are professional athletes.

From what I remember, Brown is the only Utah player who left that wasn't a Boylen recruit.

You can spin it anyway you want, but Boylen is obviously trying to save his job by running off every player who's left Utah and bringing in JC players to replace them.

If it works, Utah will be more competitive next year. Whether that translates into a better MWC record remains to be seen. The Utes might beat the Seattles and Idaho States on their schedule, but still finish 5th or 6th in the MWC.

Would an 18-12, 8-8, 5th place MWC, NIT bid year save Boylen's job?

I don't think Boylen is running the players off the save his job. I think he ran them of by demonstrating that he doesn't know how to coach during the season. I thing a lot of these players would be staying if they had seen some steady improvement as a team during the season. But, they don't see any hope for the future, until we have a coaching change.

Long live Jim Boylen!('s career as head coach at utah)

Lets be realistic, if the Utes didn't go .500 last year then what happened that could possibly get them .500 this year?

Why do you want to fire him? Personally, I am one of the many people in the "Boylen Fans in Provo" group. The longer he stays at Utah, the more wins for BYU and the happier I am.
