Hey what happened to make Moser leave the team in middle of the season?

Interesting playoff clinching scenario tomorrow with Caps and Flyers playing.

Byu values familiarity when hiring coaches. Every football and basketball coach

POLL: You can only choose one: good coaching or good recruits?

Cougs4Lfe

9:44pm

Recruits. But college coaching is all about getting good recruits.

Endocoug

9:46pm

Pretty sure BYU will just hire Burgess, but I’m struggling to understand why Kevin Young would consider the job

TCuz Coastal Elite

9:40pm

He is a finalist for both Brooklyn and Charlotte

BYULAWGUY

9:41pm

He didn’t get the nets job

BYUheaven

Wife is from Omaha, I think

Endocoug

9:42pm

It’s just setting the stage for the best pro coach in sports to join BYU soon

blackandblue

9:44pm

I agree. Ultimately, I think Burgess is the hire.

Hypnotoad

9:47pm

I’d prefer Kevin Young, Burgess’s ceiling is too low. He’s just the safe pick.

4mack

9:49pm

It doesn't matter what we prefer. As TCuz points out, Young is in line to

Hypnotoad

9:56pm

Maybe it’s a stretch but I think there are compelling reasons. Shorter season, even with recruiting for starters.

RalphWiggam

9:50pm

Burgess is a BYU guy?

gwill

9:53pm

No, but he isn't on the cusp of an NBA gig, so seems distinguisable.

YSMACK

9:55pm

In a world where Kentucky hires a coach with 0 NCAA wins, what makes sense?

tacallaway

9:55pm

If Burgess/BYU can convince Fueger to stay on as Associate Head Coach

seco03

9:38pm

Fueger probably already bought a house in Lexington.

The lamest part of the way Pope left isn’t failing to thank Cougar Nation. It’s

If this is true, that is pretty messed up.

Yikes, that is not great if true

Dr T-bone

Pope has been ghosting people for years so not surprising if true. Have heard

Maybe it's a legit narcissistic trait that he has.

It’s true. No need to make up stuff like this.

GlutealGuy

Well, that is something I had never thought about, but makes a lot of sense

byusage

9:38pm

Would Young really come to BYU right as the Suns are starting the playoffs?

arizonacougarfan

9:30pm

Would the Suns send him a Western Conference Semifinals ring if he left them

DieHarder

9:31pm

You can’t put your life on hold and miss jobs that you want. If he wants the job

BYUheaven

9:31pm

I’m pretty sure that BYU would require him to step down right away.

Mathew

9:32pm

Yes. He needs to recruit. Dumb to take that job then not put everything into it

cougaman

Would not be unprecedented. Damon Stoudamire left the Celtics for Georgia Tech

There was something posted that Tom Holmoe met with all the players and told

I just looked up Kevin Young and found out I coached against his team when he was in high school. I don't remember him.

No touching All-American

8:32pm

I served a mission in that area around when he would have been in school. I remember kids in our ward signing up to play

RalphWiggam

8:37pm

I think the best coach is either Jensen or Young.

JackArchi

8:32pm

I think Chandler and others would love to play for young once they read his bio. They’d be crazy not to give him a shot

RalphWiggam

Young with Burgess as an assistant.

If Burgess can keep getting good recruits, I'll take him all day long.
