Henrie is now a graduate assistant coach for the Wildcats working mainly with the centers. "I wanted to be a graduate assistant because my goal is to be a high school coach," Henrie said. "Right now I'm pretty much a 'gopher' for the coaches, but I also get to coach a lot and work with the centers and guards." Henrie, a physical education major, is from farm country in Delta, Utah 1 on the farm with his family when he returns to Delta to coach football. Coming out of high school, he was basically unrecruited, and decided to walk on at Weber State because "it was the only school that even invited me."

The Utah players and coaches aren't sitting around their hoteld welling on their blowout loss to Portland in the opening game of the Western Conference finals. They've gone back to Salt Lake City to try to figure out how to cool off the blazing Trail Blazers. Portland's 113-88 romp Saturday in Game 1 left Jazz coach Jerry Sloan wondering what he can do to make it close in Tuesday night's Game 2. "We're going to see if we can get David Robinson, Hakeem Olajuwon and four or five other guys and see if we can play this team," Sloan said. The Jazz decided they'd rather spend Saturday and Sunday nights at home instead of at a hotel. Four days in Los Angeles during Utah's riot-delayed first-round series with the Clippers taught the Jazz a lesson, Sloan said. "Had we known the time and situation before it ca me up, we probably would have gone home then," he said. "It's very tough for guys to lay around that long, and we're not that far away." Besides, if the Utah players are home, what happened in their first Western Conference final playoff ga me ever might be easier to forget. 'This was a very embarrassing loss," Jeff Malone said. "We want to get home and get some rest, get a good practice." Sloan said there aren't many adjustments his team can make if the Blazers play the way they did in Game 1 .
