Quote from article: “Coaches who arrive from professional basketball …
… without having worked extensively in college have about a 9 percent success rate.”
Is this factual?
Is this a fair assessment?
What does success look like?

This writer, Mike DeCourcy, is not impressed by the Kevin Young hire. Haha

Tbh those are valid concerns

Exactly. We are in the honeymoon stage rn but he is right

You are correct. But there are a tone of things unique to BYU that make this hire better than the average NBA guy

True but his 9% number is way off. Those NBA assistants that go down to college usually aren't great assistants in NBA

Recruiting isn't as big of a deal with NIL.

But it might be with BYU's NIL situation. If we have players looking elsewhere, that suggests the BYU NIL, meaning

But we do want to be competitive in that space anyway when they have BYU/Utah ties

That's exactly right. You have to separate the top assistants in the league from guys that are way down on the bench.

Like it or not, ya gotta imagine this is what our recruiting competition is telling our former players & our prospects.
