The program has been after Krystkowiak for quite a while now, first approaching him about the job in 2007, though he opted to coach the Milwaukee Bucks insted.
A three-time Big Sky Conference MVP for the Montana Grizzlies, Krystkowiak certainly has history in the Rocky Mountain region. He also played a season for the Utah Jazz in the early '90s.
This is his first college head coaching job since 2004-2006, when he coached Montana to two NCAA Tournament bids and a tourney upset of Nevada. Since then he's coached the Bucks for two seasons, taken a season off, and served since 2010 as a New Jersey Nets assistant. In two years at Milwaukee, Krystkowiak went 31-69.
