Who would be the Kalani of BYU Basketball? Is there one out there?

The Lone Star Cougar

Not the same level. But Austin Ainge is a pretty good coach from what I hear.

blackandblue

1/17/17 8:50am

Does anyone know if Austin is active in the Church?

Fervent Cougar

1/17/17 8:52am

That's an odd question.

blackandblue

1/17/17 8:54am

Why is it odd? It's generally assumed to be a hiring requirement for head coach.

byujag

1/17/17 8:57am

While not a guarantee by any means, there's an assumption with RM BYU grads.

It's a criteria for being head coach. So why is it an odd question

It's odd to make a big deal of it. Is Mark Madsen active? Is Mark Pope? Is ..

that's because people knew they were active. you're the one making a big deal

Kerbouchard

1/17/17 11:29am

BYU would never hire an inactive head coach.

OpusX

1/17/17 10:23am

There's a better chance BYU would hire a non member than hire an inactive member

If Rose steps down on his own.. not from supposed heat that really isn't there

I'd take Alex Jensen in a heart beat.

Alex Jensen will be an NBA head coach soon enough.

OPINIONS

1/17/17 8:57am

I'd take any active LDS guy who was coached by Majerus...

Is Tommy Connor (Utah's Assistant) LDS?

OPINIONS

Think I saw him flying to Atlanta yesterday. He has watching the UCLA game on

He is Utah's secret to success (IMO).

Thats why Larry is good, he surround himself with good coaches. Rose surrounds

A few Ute fans I know were pretty bummed when Tommy Connor wasn't named the head

I can't believe Utah State didn't hire him. Freakin Barnes.

I've heard the same from Ute friends

Tommy Conner is LDS...Borah High grad..Dad coached Boise State

I don't think Tommy would like coaching at BYU. Know him personally, not really

Jagger

1/17/17 12:28pm

Unfortunately that is where the Utes have us. They have people like Tommy Connor

fbguru

1/17/17 8:55am

Rose has had 2 former assistants leave to become head coaches

freshcoug

So a former player who is great with people and everyone loves hmmm

BigYfan

I've said for years Travis needs to get into coaching

Remigius

1/17/17 9:11am

Being a good player has nothing to do with being a good coach.

OpusX

1/17/17 9:57am

Nothing? Of course it has something to do with it. It just isn't a requirement.

Droppin' knowledge! Nice post.

For now, Kalani isn't any better than Rose or Bronco

coolblue

But the momentum sure is

What "momentum"? Kalani took over a 9-4 team with good returning talent and

BYUfan92

1/17/17 6:39pm

I love Kalani. But his on the field results so far are the same as Bronco. Good not great.

Cochise Cat

1/17/17 10:11am

And any impartial observer would say its gotten stale

OC Coug

1/17/17 11:01am

I likewise prefer Kalani in a number of ways to Bronco, but let's be fair...

cajuncoug

1/17/17 10:33am

I think that is the issue I have with all of this "who would replace Rose"

OC Coug

1/17/17 10:58am

Bronco produced 4 squads that were ranked in both polls:

cajuncoug

1/17/17 4:08pm

Mark Madsen or Alex Jensen

Thrill

1/17/17 11:54am

People really need to stop suggesting Madsen as a head coach.

No way. He's the perfect candidate for BYU. Evidence:

Alex Jensen would be my #1 by far.

Gerald-DeGroot

Jensen would make a ton of sense, plus his wife is a huge BYU fan

Um...Dave Rose was basketball's Kalani.

Eddie

Thurl Bailey. A guy with experience winning championships.

JAGA97

1/17/17 5:48pm

And it was a lame question.

Brisco

1/17/17 8:32pm

So do the thumbs down mean they think Thurl would be a good coach?
