SALT LAKE CITY -- The University of Utah Utes hired Nets assistant Larry Krystkowiak as their coach Sunday, picking him to lead the Utes into the Pacific 12 Conference. The move came three weeks after athletic director Chris Hill fired Jim Boylen following consecutive losing seasons. Krystkowiak will be introduced at a news conference Monday. The 45-year-old Krystkowiak has been an assistant with the New Jersey the past eight months. He played for the Jazz in 1992-93 as part of nine NBA seasons after being drafted in the second round (28th overall) in 1986 by the Chicago Bulls. Krystkowiak's went 42-20 with a pair of NCAA tournament bids in two seasons at Montana and was 37-16 with the Idaho Stampede in 2003-04, leading them to the CBA title game.
