Whole new coaching corps?
How many years have we talked "If they just played defense they'd be really really …"
Well, maybe the new sheriff in town gets down to defense as a priority?
Perhaps they'd be really really good.
Not saying they will, but they can definitely surprise.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

My gut says Rose was a miracle worker.....it is not what you accomplish in life it is what you overcome....he was there nearly 15 years and won nearly 350 games and won at a 72% clip......with one all American and Jimmer is not in the NBA and I don't think anyone else. is...Last edited by bartruff1; 08-20-2019, 06:26 PM.

According to Wikipedia, BYU won at least one tournament game (excluding play-ins) five times in the shot-clock era: 1988, 1991, 1993, 2010, 2011. The common element of the last two was Rose, but also Jimmer Fredette, and even then, only got to the Sweet 16 once, and no further advancement until you go back to pre-shot-clock in 1981.
The statistics aren't very threatening. I think Pope is a capable coach who could win any game he coaches (see UVU at UK), but I don't see a consistent program flourishing here after the honeymoon period subsides.

I think that BYU will surprise many this year. The Childs suspension is going to make it difficult. I suspect that they will split with the Zags and the Gaels. The Zags don't really have the bigs that BYU does. Childs is a beast and Haws is crafty. Petrusev is a good player but scoring 25 points against the lads from Macedonia is not like playing the the MC.

I think the combo of Childs and Baxter in the front court is going to be difficult for the the Zags to deal with. Baxter may be the best athlete in the WCC. The Zags will go as far as Tillie takes them. If he can stay healthy then they win the conference, if not St. Mary's could be the winner. Childs vs. Tillie is pretty much a wash. Baxter is better than Petrusev. The X factor is Coach Pope. The environment at BYU is night and day difference with a very hungry staff and players. Coach Rose admitted that he didn't have the drive the past 3 years. It should be interesting.
