OK, I am joking, at least a little bit, I am pretty poor fan of the Women's team...
Still I feel really badly for Levrets, in my very limited dealings with him he struck me as a good guy, his team has certainly performed well off-the-court (great GPA, good citizens, and the like) and his last two teams were decimated by injuries.
On the other hand he got 5 full years and has a losing record. Remember that Utah is #14 all time in WBB winning percentage and while no one is expecting the Utes to dominate a very good Pac-12 WBB league, Utah should/needs to be more competitive given their history.
It probably doesn't help that BYU's WBB program is one of the few Olympic sports that seems to be out-performing the Pac-12 Utes and are doing so while being coached by a former Runnin' Ute legend.
So if you are Chris Hill who/what are you looking for in the next WBB coach? Utah does have a Pac-12 program and gets to piggyback of the Men's program (i.e. they are getting brand new facility and refurbished Hunty).
Like at a lot of places at Utah's WBB program consumes a lot of money w/ almost no revenue... When you have no revenue AND "no" wins I think that change is inevitable.
