Not at the level as most D1 assistants. There is a reason not much is asked
Of him in terms of coaching. They want him to recruit and tell jokes. That's about it.

Didn't we learn anything from Kalani's failed experiment hiring buddies/former..

It doesn’t. It was a lazy and weak hire.

LaComb worked under Majerus before he came to BYU.

manager of basketball operations not a coach

Let's not pretend he didn't learn anythign from that experience. He was basically a coach/recruiter.

I didn't think a team manager could recruit. Doesn't he hand out towels, etc?
icecougar
4/26/18 11:45am
That would count as recruiting for those that know of Rick's escapades.

Can on campus. Not off. But coordinates. Good article explaining what they can do, and can't.

Lacomb's background before coming to BYU

as a towel boy and clipboard holder?

Lacomb is a great guy but doesn't actually do any coaching

Sure he knows hoops.

That's a pretty sweet gig

Its ok to pretend to know what you don’t know

that must've been quite a burden

Not really. I passed out basketballs and such. Then was an assistant to the assistants for a HS team, then somehow

Basketball and football staffing are even remotely close to the same.

The "got other gigs" part is what's missing here

3 Rose assistants have left for D1 head coaching jobs in the last 7 years
Indy Coug

Yup. Rice, Pope and Schroyer. None of them ex-BYU players.

those were all good hiring decisions. guys from outside the program who brought.

Let's not pretend the situation you described at Duke is the same as here...

Did you see how many years of experience Coach K's former players had when assisting him?
Indy Coug
4/26/18 11:49am
If Rose had Coach K's resume I wouldn't worry about anything he decided...
icecougar
4/26/18 11:56am
I think it really has more to do with players anyway. Duke gets top-3 recruiting classes every year. Easy to be a genius
Turnpike Lane

another reason why that example doesn't fit with our situation here at BYU

Solid comparison.

I've heard speculation (before the hire was made) that if is was Cummard that

I think Rose has given enough hints that he's gone in 2 years

How does Lee being hired = Rose leaving?

It doesn't. Just that it was mentioned on CB in a prior thread, became

More than just CB, it was also talked about on ESPN960
icecougar
4/26/18 12:28pm
It's the easiest call, it gives him a couple years of experience as a D-1 coach
SoCalCoug
4/26/18 5:02pm
A year from now CB will claim Cummard should replace Rose
Coogar2

One and single ❓: Can Lee Cummard recruit???

I don't mind the hire. Ultimately I only care about

my guess there is Quincy would be more dialed in...

I fully support Rose and I like the hire of Cummard. By hiring him we likely

Interesting...seems to me that a shake-up, rather than "stability"

well, swamps aren't very pleasant. they generally smell, lots of mosquitoes etc.

Crazy to not support a coach who has never won fewer than 20

I was hoping to get a long time X's and O's type assistant.
Thrill
4/26/18 12:06pm
Yeah! Let's get someone with lots of experience. Like Heath Schroyer, maybe.

To be fair, there's not really any evidence Sitake hired guys

Call it what you want, buddies, loyalty hires, etc...
icecougar

Replacing Shroyer with Cummard is a net negative.
SlantRoute
4/26/18 2:05pm
Agreed. We need assistants with experience under different systems and coaches.

If Lee is the secret sauce to keep Yoeli then this is a great hire
Coogar2

Is that just an "if" or is there something to that?

I don't agree with the negativity. But then this is CB
