Man, this guy is class all the way. Was not condescending, nor overconfident. As much as it pains me to say this, Griz fans should feel lucky to have such a winner coaching their team. My only hope is that he moves on in the next few years to a higher profile school...

I also hope that he moves on the a higher profile school soon for his on personal success and so the Griz don't have such a great coach. He is a great coach and a class guy!

Overall I thought it was a pretty boring interview. Dave and Dean really didn't ask him any difficult questions, and Larry really didn't say anything outside of the normal "coach speak." Although when, Dean asked him about Fullerton wanting coaches to schedule stronger teams, Larry said something to the effect. I could tell you what I really thing, but if I did I would probably getting some mail from the commissioner's office.

He seems like a pretty nice guy, but he sounded pretty much like Durham, Joe Craven, or any other coach would sound on a radio show aired in the hometown of your opponent.

He is a class act. I've heard and seen him speak several times and he is a great coach. Look what he's done with the team already. He won't be at UM for very long.

I liked that as well. He basically insinuated that Fullerton is a moron. Which MSU fans have known all along.

He could be gone after this season. He is a heck of a coach. His stay there reminds me of what I said about bringing in a younger coach to MSU who would have passion on the bench and passion in recruiting.

Krysko will leave the UM program in much better shape than when he arrived in Missoula. That is all you can ask of a coach IMO.

Krystowiak seems to be a great coach, and UM will be at the top end of the Big Sky as long as he's there. Hopefully Pat Kennedy is available again when Krystowiak leaves!

Larry is a class guy, I fear he'll only be in Missoula for 1 - 2 more years before he moves onto a much more high profile BBall job.

Class act all the way...They are lucky to have him

I have to agree that Larry is a class act and coach. I didn't like him as a player (opponent), but had to admire his talent.

I've watched the last couple griz coaches shows on Sun. night & he's just a good guy doing a good job. He has good assistants in Tinkle (another I really didn't like when he was a player) and Brad Huse- great guy who was an assistant under Mick.

Now, if there is anything I can do to get other teams interested in offering Larry a better deal let me know.

Missoula Big Sky...right, Swilly?

I heard that interview today. Krystowiak is a class guy and the good fit for the Grizzlies. What stood out to me is how much his answers sounded like Mick Durham's answers in his Sports Nuts interviews. Don't take that the wrong way. Krysko was very good today, and so was good ole' Robin. I bet he complains a bit tomorrow.

Well if you are going to get picky on me, be more specific!

But, if you want Krysco highschool trivia:
What was so memorable about Krysco's recruiting trip to MSU?

Hint: it never happened before then and hopely god it never happens again?

He took over from Kennedy(Hogan); UNtrained monkeys could accomplish that feat!

Seriously, though, the longer Larry stays in Missoula, the more Big Sky titles (and first round NCAA exits) the Griz will amass, so....

BEST OF LUCK IN THE NBA, LARRY!

He's the cats guest for the cat/griz game, sitting on the end of the bench. pope drives and slams it home, larry jumps up and applauds. coaches and the bench turn and look. afterwards msu coach says, i hope you'll consider msu.
