An NCAA basketball committee recently approved three rules changes intended to clarify block-charge calls, who can shoot free throws after an injury and the expanded use of instant replay.

Boylen was named the National Association of Basketball Coaches District 17 Coach of the Year on Thursday. The honor was voted on by his coaching peers in college basketball.

Utah senior center Luke Nevill was named an Associated Press All-American Honorable Mention selection. It's the first time Utah has had an All-American since former No. 1 NBA draft pick and fellow Aussie Andrew Bogut.

Many questioned whether Utah football head coach Kyle Whittingham would split for greener pastures after his team's stellar performance, but if there were any thoughts or rumors that head coach Jim Boylen would leave Utah after resurrecting the Runnin' Utes, go ahead and throw those out the window.

Two weeks after returning from a foot injury to boost the Utah men's basketball team's tournament hopes, Morgan Grimm is moving on.

From the opening tip, the No. 12 seed Arizona Wildcats worked the No. 5-seeded Runnin' Utes, controlling the pace of the game and shutting down Utah's offense with a full-court press, leading to an 84-71 victory for the Wildcats at American Airlines Arena in Miami, Fla.

After winning the Mountain West Conference Tournament championship in Las Vegas two days ago, the Runnin' Utes sat in the Huntsman Center Sunday afternoon eagerly awaiting their selection to the 2009 NCAA Tournament.

In the press conference following the game, Jim Boylen didn't hold back any emotions when talking about what this season meant to his seniors.

If the old adage "defense wins championships," is true, crown Utah and San Diego State as co-champions MWC Tournament champions.

Luke Nevill and Morgan Warburton have been crucial to their teams' success all season and the MWC conference tournament was no different.
