By DAN PATTISON Deseret News Sports Writer You would expect a coach to be screaming and saying there will be some changes made or beads will roll after losses on the road.

The fouling started with the first offensive effort when it was too apparent that Utahs' Scott Jones was not going to let Cosic have anything to do with either end of the court.
