After this year. Is there any truth or legs to them? Or just a few fans speculating on the internet that then caused the thing to take on a life of its own?

Honestly, I would not blame KW if he did retire. He has taken Utah to incredible heights, been coaching forever, and had to deal with the death of two of his players in a short time. It takes a toll on a person. But was just curious if there was any reliable information about whether he really was thinking about retiring.
