What if I told you....

That Bronco wins at the exact same clip The Holy Saint LaVell did? and that pretty much everything you just said can be said for Bronco?

Look it up - it's true. They are within fractions of a percentage point, last time I checked.

For some reason everyone always forgets about all of LaVell's horrible losses.

Let me tell you why Dave Rose gets a pass

There are multiple reasons. You nailed a few.

Walter Bellhaven

Rose wins games that he is not supposed to win

BYUheaven

10/22/14 10:33am

Bronco has his fair share of those as well

concolor couguar

10/22/14 10:34am

Oklahoma, Oregon, @ TCU are the ones that come to mind. Few and far between

Beating Washington at home in 2010 was an upset looking back on it

concolor couguar

10/22/14 11:00am

Rose has also played 187 more games than Bronco, just sayin'

There are also more games in Basketball

Schultz is back

Plus Rose doesn't act like a mission president

mudpupper

10/22/14 10:29am

sure he does. He just handles it in a less public way

BlueK

10/22/14 10:37am

You leave off one HUGE reason....ROSE consistently gets the best LDS talent.

COUGZ

10/22/14 10:32am

That's a lot easier when the best LDS talent is in Utah

Schultz is back

10/22/14 10:38am

Utah isn't in contention for that talent in basketball

BlueK

10/22/14 10:41am

Exactly. Kalani Sitake and KW have done the same for LDS D players at Utah

COUGZ

10/22/14 10:42am

IMO, not even close. The best LDS talents comes to BYU for bball...almost

Rose lost two instate kids to Crisco and whiffed on Jabari

10/22/14 1:03pm

Just having Jabari put BYU in his top 3 speaks volumes about where this program

10/22/14 1:19pm

^^^ This. Poor use of the word whiff. That would suggest that Rose missed the

Unless his reason for leaving BYU in his top 3 never had anything to do with

"whiffed on Jabari." hahahaha right

southernfriedcougar

10/22/14 3:32pm

also some of the bronco angst is over teh sport

Wasn't it Rose who also took them out of the cellar?

sheriffcreg

10/22/14 10:41am

Steve Cleveland took them out of the 1-win season

BlueK

10/22/14 10:42am

Of course, after Reid.. anyone could have come into BYU,

10/22/14 3:56pm

Cleveland was a pretty decent recruiter and great with PR, but bad with Xs, Os

BlueK

10/23/14 9:36am

Also fantastic color guy for basketball. I think he has a future doing that if

concolor couguar

10/23/14 10:02am

I respectfully disagree.. but I like him so I hope he succeeds too

10/23/14 10:50am

That is a preference on his part. Not every coach would disagree with him.

concolor couguar

10/23/14 10:56am

In Cleveland's last year they went 9-21 but the two years before were both NCAA

RisinUp

10/22/14 10:49am

I think we're forgetting one very important piece to this, BYU BBall is exciting

RisinUp

10/22/14 10:46am

b/c he coaches basketball and not football. done, end of discussion.

nashty

10/22/14 10:59am

His win percent has dropped to 69% since joining the WCC, a step down from the

Why exclude Bronco's results from this year?

concolor couguar

10/22/14 11:26am

The season isn't over yet and would skew the results since the comparison

cougarick

10/22/14 12:40pm

Don't know why that's so funny. It was fairly straight forward. Should I have

cougarick

10/22/14 1:00pm

Excluding data is generally frowned upon unless you have a compelling reason

concolor couguar

10/22/14 1:55pm

Trying to make it as apples to apples as possible is not a compelling reason?

cougarick

10/22/14 2:13pm

No generally data is excluded because it is an outlier or there is a flaw

concolor couguar

10/22/14 2:25pm

It does in that it is not yet complete. If I took a snap shot of Rose last

cougarick

10/22/14 2:40pm

The data from those games is complete! If you were doing percent of seasons

concolor couguar

10/22/14 2:45pm

I chose to compare complete seasons. My goodness, dude, get over it.

cougarick

10/22/14 2:49pm

I was over it and you made a post specifically asking me to explain my reasoning

concolor couguar

.716 vs .699

concolor couguar

I prefer to remember the great wins
