The 6-foot-9 former NBA forward was on his way to his team’s first practice of the season at the Huntsman Center on Saturday morning when he spied a man riding a bike and wheeling along an additional bike.
Krystkowiak chased down the assumed bike thief, forced him to take a seat on the sidewalk and called campus police, who also found five stolen cell phones in his backpack, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.
“The guy asked me if I was going to chase him if he attempted to run,” Krystkowiak said Saturday night. “I told him that if he tried to run, I was going to chase him and tackle him. Honestly, I was hoping that he’d run. I guess a good thief would’ve run before I caught up to him.”
The self-proclaimed Barney Fife is kicking off his third year with the Utes. Krystkowiak has yet to lead his team to a winning season, but kicking butt and taking names has to be a good omen for the U.
