Why would Kruger leave here to go to ASU? You only get to coach your son for so long. This is the easiest job around. The alumni here are pathetically easy to deal with, the money's great, the recruiting isn't that difficult thanks to the reputation of the program, and its an easier rebuild because the MWC is there for the taking as long as Utah is no good. Building something up in Tempe is going to be many times more difficult because that coach 100 miles to the south gets every good player in state so ASU takes the leftovers and whatever kids in Iowa or Minnesota it can convince to come somewhere warm.
