Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak says 'toxic' atmosphere halted BYU series
Krystkowiak said during a news conference Monday the rivalry has turned into a "venomous and toxic environment" and he's concerned for the well-being of the players. BYU guard Nick Emery was ejected from December's game for punching Utah's Brandon Taylor.
Krystkowiak called the incident "the straw that broke the camel's back" and why he approached athletic director Chris Hill about canceling the contracted game in Provo.
