No. Sounded like he wanted a less demanding season schedule.

His wife wanted a less demanding job

The truth

And more stability for their kids; KY said this in his intro press conference.

He underestimate BYU recruiting, though, perhaps?

Still no comparison to NBA life. You can still do some recruiting from the

No. I don't think they'd fire a HC and promote one of his assistants.

It’s very common for mid season firings, then the assistant gets an audition for

No, he chose the college coaching lifestyle for his family. He could have been a

KY would have already been announced as an NBA HC, if that was what he wanted.

slatecoug

Apr 28, 4:30pm

No. He said his desire was never to be an NBA head coach. Wanted to settle down

Phred84044

Apr 28, 1:17pm

So is that why he applied to be a NBA HC 9 different times? Also wouldn’t have

Direct quote from him during his introductory press conference.

His direct quote did not say he never wanted to be a HC.

No, it wasn’t. When asked if he felt this was putting his dream of being an NBA

Quite honestly outside of byu, the nba was more likely to have a hc job for him

He chose BYU over being the Nets head coach.

There seems to be a mix of opinion on whether he was offered that job

BYU '80

He was offered the Nets job.

You do those HC interviews to build contacts and to learn

scott715

Apr 28, 2:10pm

You are wrong. He interviewed 9 times. He was trying to be a HC stop with this

Cougz19

Apr 28, 2:16pm

That isn’t what he said

OKchief

His wife made the decision for him anyway.

TCuz

Yeah, he basically said that at the BYU announcement.

HimmerFredette

Sounds like he made a good choice. I doubt he would get the HC job

Malathion

Head assistants get hired all the time after a HC gets fired. He was the top

It’s 50/50. He was part of a staff that put that team together. Sounds like

And the Nets job is a bigger mess.

I wouldn’t want to be HC of that roster

Dangerous ground to have a wife be making husbands career decisions. Just sayin

I think 30 million for seven years will suffice. Will never have to work again.

We are in Las Vegas for one reason: It's where my wife wanted us to be.

We knew we'd need to be in at least a moderately sized city & made a list of acceptable ones.

Loved the part about needing to be in person to look in each other's eyes and make sure they were on the same page.

I agree, Soupie.

A wise man you are, LV Mike.

KY said his dream is not to be an NBA HC.

rainorsnow

Apr 28, 1:56pm

That may be true, but he also kinda has to say that.

My dream wasn't necessarily to be a partner at a Top 10 accounting firm. If

Also dangerous when the wife doesn't help make that decision, I imagine.

flawed logic

Can you imagine if KY went back and took the Suns HC job after all this?

This board hates the suns enough already…we don’t need more haha

Maybe all the veiled rumors are about Vogel coming as assistant coach.

No, his wife wants him to be home more. Likes player development. getting paid

Do assistant coaches typically get promoted from a fired coaching staff?

KY is exactly where he wants to be.
