Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
My all-league honors:
POY: Delon Wright
COY: Dana Altman
First-team all-Pac 12 (10 players): Wright, Stanley Johnson (AZ), Joseph Young (Oregon), T.J. McConnell (AZ), Chasson Randle (Stanford), Askia Booker (Colorado), Norman Powell (UCLA), Josh Hawkinson (Wazzu), Nigel Williams-Goss (UW), Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (AZ)
Defensive POY: Delon Wright
Newcomer of the year: Stanley Johnson, AZ
Most improved: Josh Hawkinson, Wazzu
Larry did lose it.
With Altman, it was more a case of the media overestimating the effect of off-season turmoil. They always seem to think arrests will affect how a team plays, despite a million counterexamples. Altman had plenty to work with.
I guess it's either Altman or Miller.
Altman is under major fire for allowing players to finish the season despite being investigated for gang rape. That will cost him votes. But at the same time, Utah has fizzled a little bit. OSU didn't win enough and Miller is a boring choice.
The honors are out.

Brandon Taylor voted second-team All-Pac-12. Well done! I didn't think he'd get that kind of recognition, but he did. Also honorable mention all-defense.
Poeltl all-frosh, Delon all-defense.
So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

Pat is right. Two years for Young at Oregon. It's a poor choice.
The only statistical categories Young really wins are PPG, and FT%.
Young has less assists with 18 more turnovers and a lower FG % (and he took far more 3's)
Also seems odd a guy who makes 1st team and 1st team defense loses out.
While Oregon won their home game against Utah. Wright out played Young by a large margin.
Colorado's Booker essentially quits the team in advance of the CBI...refusing to play in the postseason tournament.

Looks like Sendek could be out at ASU. He's meeting with the AD at 9:45 this morning to discuss the future of the program. Interesting considering they gave him a one-year extension before the year started. Plus, IMO this year was his best coaching job since he's been at ASU.
That being said I really hope they don't fire him. A competent coach could have some success in Tempe.
They should hire Archie Miller. That would be fun. Plus, he used to be am assistant to Sendek.

Dayton compeats with Xavier and Cincinnati and to a little later extent Louisville.

Steve Lavin and St. Johns are parting ways. Gotta wonder if he jumps to the top of ASU's list.

Stanford beats Miami in OT to win the NIT. So that's something, I guess.

As a Ute fan, I hope they keep Dawkins as long as possible. Stanford made the Tournament 13 of the previous 14 years before they hired him. Since he's been HC... they've made one NCAA Tourney appearance in 7 years. Talk about underachieving.
Just like with Herb Sendek, I say we start the #keepDawkins campaign!
BTW, they're going to take a big step back next year.... Randle, Nastic, and Brown all gone. Good luck with that.
Yes, I'd have been ecstatic with that for the Utes of the last 4 years. However, 4 years ago Stanford and Dawkins were in a much better position than Utah and LK. At that point, Dawkins was three years in, so the program was just about all his with players he had brought in (and that was after he had replaced Trent Johnson, who took Stanford to the tournament 3 times in 4 years, including the Sweet Sixteen in his last year. Given that background, I would not be satisfied with one NCAA tournament appearance and two NIT championships in 4 years. I'm not terribly impressed with Dawkins; if had done that at Utah he'd be on a very hot seat.
95 percent of Stanford's notable hoops history came under Mike Montgomery. They didn't earn their first non-wartime NCAA win until 1995. That 1997 team we beat in the Sweet 16? First time Stanford ever won two games in the NCAA tournament.
Two Utes is right. Dawkins ain't getting fired anytime soon.
