Would take a jump at an open P5 DC position? We just generally hire our own.
The coaching pool for womens basketball might just be small. And we happened to find someone whose dream job is to coach at BYU.
I watched her interview and she impressed. If she finds experienced assistants (not Trent), she will be just fine.
Hiring a coach with experience doesn’t always equate to success (see Nebraska and just about everyone they have hired, or the UofU and their mens basketball coaches since majeras.)
