I support her even though the lack of college coaching experience makes you
hope it's not Detmer redux. Holmoe has generally done well selecting HCs.

Does her daughter cancel her Oregon commit and come to BYU now?
Indy Coug
5/18/22 4:15pm
That was my question. That is a huge jump to go from HS to D1 soon-
Thrill
5/18/22 4:17pm
Definitely is a big jump. I'm shocked by this hire
palangi

Shockingly shocked maybe shows Tom thinks about WBB, heading into the B12

It’s huge, and very unlike Byu as they’ve turned down others in lower profile

5/18/22 4:36pm
so this is similar to Danny Ainge hiring Stevens from Butler University to coach
cwilke1
5/18/22 4:53pm
Maybe if she coached a national runner up team 2x
JoeExotic
5/18/22 6:17pm
Yeah Burley HS is not Butler, but BYU women's basketball is not the Celtics

5/18/22 8:53pm
I have nothing against the hire
JoeExotic
5/18/22 9:04pm
BYU ended 21-22 regular season with a bang (great last home game vs. Zags)
cwilke1
5/18/22 9:18pm
Still a big 12 program
JoeExotic
5/18/22 9:31pm
Well if CB is any indicator of interest in WBB, there's nothing anyone can do to fix it short of turning it over to men.

Hiring an effective HC for women is a bit trickier than for men. For one thing,

shaylee laid a big egg in the tournament this year, so early exit falls on her
cwilke1
5/18/22 5:04pm
She's really struggled w shooting since her knee. Doesn't get the lift or push
SinkingQuffa
5/18/22 5:06pm
You are assuming the hire was based off the daughter and the daughter will
ColonelMustard
5/18/22 11:47pm
I can see how you could get that from my post. That's not what I meant.
SinkingQuffa
5/19/22 6:50am
I think she has some recruiting prowess already. She might be coaching hs
Superman21
5/18/22 9:06pm
She hasn't started there yet. I'll bet she ends up at the Y now
Cougarman
5/18/22 4:17pm
I don't think she's arrived on campus or taken classes yet, has she?
SinkingQuffa
5/18/22 4:18pm
No she hasn't yet. She is still finishing up her Sr year at Burley HS
Cougarman
5/18/22 4:28pm
Sounds like she is a jr. in high school
gwill

Jr. Year—Still has Sr. Year to go

Congrats Timpview, Provo or Timpanogos for getting a legit D1 talent next season.
Turnpike Lane
5/18/22 5:25pm
I'd bet Timpview. The other 3 programs aren't good and TV head coach is an all

What position does the daughter play?
Pergamino
5/18/22 4:19pm
PG, similar game to Shaylee, but probably a better shooter from 3
Thrill
5/18/22 4:24pm
That would be a smooth transition from Shaylee when she leaves
Pergamino
5/18/22 4:45pm
She's the type of recruit that plays instantly based on her national ranking.
Thrill
5/18/22 4:58pm
5'10" PG. Averaged 27 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 steals per game this year as a junior. Numbers were only a little less
RootieBoy
5/18/22 4:27pm
Yep, all while double and triple teamed, and trying to create for her team.

Gotta assume the chances are a lil better now.
SinkingQuffa
5/18/22 4:18pm
I hope so.

Not sure if she will come, but Amari is Shaylee Gonzalez good, maybe better.

Interesting language from the announcement:
Thrill
5/18/22 4:46pm
Not allowed to mention it where she is still a recruitable player/not signed.
RootieBoy
5/18/22 4:51pm
That's quite the jump for her.
Soupie
5/18/22 4:25pm
HUGE jump imo...hoping for the best
coug10278

On the surface is a really weird hire given other potential candidates
sidsie716
5/18/22 4:26pm
How often does high School coach to P5 coach work out?
LiveCoug
5/18/22 4:27pm
This is potentially a great hire by Holmoe. Coach Whiting is much more
WallaX2
5/18/22 4:27pm
And she is now about to matchup with some of the best WBB coaches in the entire

They have a son just home from a mission signed to play basketball at Boise State
StantonMac
5/18/22 4:36pm
The son is good but not BYU good, he prolly won’t start at boise state till

I’m not so sure about this hire 😬

Wow.

Agree big jump, but heavily involved in the AAU circuit which is a plus.

It's not like BYU is hiring some high school PE teacher who had to coach girls' basketball because
ManicBlue
5/18/22 5:14pm
and she is the coach of top AAU Idaho team which has placed players into D1 ball
cwilke1
5/18/22 5:18pm
But a little school in Idaho? Her husband work there and no other options? Why
sfeuz
5/18/22 6:23pm
but did you see how bad that team was and how quickly she turned them around? Nothing short of amazing IMO
ManicBlue
5/18/22 8:51pm
Definitely not a little school in Idaho

Trust Liz Dager to hire the best. She's brilliant & Liz herself was hired out of nowhere. Lucky for BYU.
roseyscenario
5/18/22 5:17pm
Feels like a reach. Could be brilliant or a disaster. Its a bold move. I hope
BostonCougar
5/18/22 10:42pm
Seems to me she can coach, knows the AAU circuit so will be able to recruit. Let's see what she can do.

Trent's wife?

if only clicking the link OP posted and looking at the article could answer that for you...

We will now refer to Trent as Amber's husband
JoeExotic
