"When you leave the men's game to go to the women's game, you're here for good," Levrets said. "When I made the decision to come to Utah, I knew I wasn't going back to coaching men." With a hectic and time-consuming job, a wife and two children, Levrets' life is a balancing act. Luckily for Levrets, his wife Sarah is director of basketball operations at the U and played D-I basketball at Washington State, so she understands the demands of his job. "My wife played in the Pac-io, so she knew what she was getting into," Levrets said. "She's the one who wanted me to trade from men's to women's and come do this Division-I thing. We raise our family in the gym—they're around a lot. As the kids get a little older, I hope they can travel with us a little bit so I don't have to be gone from them as much. But when I'm home, I just try to be home. It doesn't always work that way because that phone never stops when you're recruiting." As for his future, Levrets said he'd like to stay in one place for a long time like his predecessor Elliott, who spent 27 seasons as Utah's head coach, but for now he said he's just along for the ride. "You can't think about that stuff," Levrets said. "I want to win the next game we play, and I want to make sure the kids we have are doing the right thing on and off the floor while we're in the process of winning games." bubba@chronicle.utah.edu per month! 801-363-7697 Taylorsville: 2520 West 4700 South The biggest challenge was the language barrier, Levrets said. "When you go to Europe, at least everybody has some sort of English background," he said. "In Japan, there's no English background. It was a constant challenge." Despite the language difference, Levrets enjoyed his time overseas and said it helped sculpt him into the coach he is now. "It was just an incredible experience," Levrets said. "Anybody that ever gets to go overseas and play or be involved in the sport you love and get paid to do that—it's an incredible experience." After he returned from Japan, Levrets spent five years as an assistant coach at Southern Oregon before jumping at the chance to move up to the Division-I level when he was offered a job at Utah. However, moving from an National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics school to a D-I school wasn't the biggest difference for Levrets. The most notable change was leaving the men's game, which he had coached his whole career, for the women's game. There are inherent challenges in coaching men and women, and it took him a while to adjust to the differences, Levrets said. "The biggest difference between coaching men and women is dealing with the egos of men and the emotions of women," he said. "Both have their challenges. The change was different from what I had been doing, but the challenges are very similar."
