1.You literally gave the #1reason for keeping Bronco soo long when his product had peaked and had started declining. "I doubt we can find another coach who can.."
That statement alone screams irrational thought. Fans thought the same thing at variois points of their tenure of Reid,Cleveland, Crowton,.Mendenhaul, and now Rose...in every case the fans have been wrong. Rose isnt the outlier,he is replaceable and upgradeable.
As has been pointed out without Rice and Pope he hasnt made the tourney..EVER.
May who are familiar with the program credit both with being great recruiters and bringing most of the players you are attributing to Rose.
Landing 4 kids from LP? REALLY a major recruiting achievement? Hired their head coach, 2 of 3 are legacy kids..MAJOR legacy kids.

2. Then you ezcuse their pmay based on being young...attributing those bad losses to yourh and lack of experience together.That is simply an excuse and false narrative. St narys didnit kast year sobyoubexpect to be better next year han this y3ars St Mary's right? Afterall we have more talented players than ST Mary's.
Losing to UVU was what? All 114 pts scored by UVUvvame from ayers who DID NOT PLAY FOR UVU KAST YEAR!.
Please read that last part again and ket that set in.
The rxcuse you are using for BYU's losses to bad teams....well UVU dodnt ise that 3xcuse to beat BYU.

But BYU is young. BYU started 2 sr's 2Soph. 1 freshman. UVU started 3 jrs,1 soph,1freshman.
Read that again and let that sink in too. UVU was younger than BYU. LESS experienced.

BUU has 5 top 100 players on its roster. UVU has ZERO.

UVU could have used the excuses you are allowing BYU to use as actual reasons,but they didn't.
The game was in the MC, a place with POPE and RICE as assts that most teams failed to ever get wins at no matter who it was.
That is gone now too.

Basketball coaches have pointed ou5 X's and O'S issues eith the actual coaching of the team, that has no5hing todo with aby of your edperiences..pushing a fast beeak when teams are no5 bohering tor3bound and are sending everyone back, sending big into he post and clogging up the lane instead of keeping them out, the 1-3-1 Zone and the mess that it has been and how easy it is to attack have all been examined and exposed on CB and none of those things have anything to do wih the excuses you gave. They arw all and all have been coaching. Even 5h3 wins vs Zags point to coaching being the issue.

We obviously have the talent to beat Zags,so losses to inferior,flat out bad teams regularly leaves only one other option.
Oh back to the UVU comparison and experience.

We have a coach and 4 players who have played together more than any other combination in he coutrt. The LP3 jav3 olays for years and hundr3ds of games together..They lnow each other better han any other combination of olayers much kess olayers and coach in the country..
Literally THE MOST EXPERIENCED group on a d1 team!

Yet people want to say we arent experienced? Its a rab4ication and missons are an excuse. When you play that much with 2 other guys, you know them very very well and 2 years wont change that.
So respectfully, you seem to b3 simply making excuses that have no real comparative validity.

The issue isnt talent..it isn't experience, its something within the coaching staff..nothing ekse makes any sense.
