BYU should be able to be better in basketball than football

because the best basketball players go pro early giving an older group of 4 year players an advantage. (like international teams used to have before pro's were allowed.)

And because it takes fewer great players to make a great basketball team. Let's face it, Rose has been pretty successful with a Utah county all-star team.

Compare Rose to Majerus

Rose is to toilet as Majerus is to towel.

So they could be the same to one guy, different to most other 1st world members

Anyone that has been paying attention to BYU basketball since 1998 knows

Those remarks just come from those insecure about Bronco's approval rating with

LOL, nope. People are just pointing out the double standard.

10/7/15 9:07am

Yup, both coaches are exactly the same. What a coincidence!

Cleveland went to Fresno State. Rose turned down Oklahoma and demanded money

And that many of his teams play poor defense

TomPetty

Many of his teams have also played good defense

Indy Coug

It's still hard for average fan to incorporate pace into quality of defense

Last year was the defensive aberration

My biggest complaint about Rose (and really one of the only ones) is that he

Defense has been poor for a team which aspires to be top 30 program.

Rose's defense has always depended on defensive rebounding and shot blocking

nephicoug

10/7/15 11:39am

You state that a lot but that is very incomplete. There are other important

Look at how we did in that 5-game stretch where we played our best defense

nephicoug

10/7/15 12:35pm

Any the question. Is Rose at BYU as good as Majerus at Utah?

TomPetty

10/7/15 9:11am

Indy, couldn't agree more. Cleveland was perfect for his time. Rose is amazing

10/7/15 9:25am

Exactly. Just like Bronco

Here's the answer to your question about NCAA seeding

Thanks for the thorough analysis - follow up question

They are entirely different beasts. I wish people would stop trying to compare

Again apples to oranges. Dont compare football to bball. It's a different beast

BYUheaven

10/7/15 5:00pm

I'd argue the opposite is true (bball harder than football) for 4 reasons

10/7/15 5:36pm

Yes, but

We've only had 10 years in our history with a run-n-gun style, and we've won

10/7/15 9:10pm

I'm happy with Rose

This season could be special if health breaks the right way! Sadly with Aytes

I love rebounding and Davis should help the team
