maybe you could save the school some money and go ahead and take on the assistant roles as well.

It always amazes me at how much BYU misses out on all the experts on CB and goes out and hires the chumps they do. SMH...

Not starting Baxter to begin the season is simply a mistake you can't make as a

How about the thought he wasn't ready. Throwing him in too early

BYU71

2/11/19 1:51pm

This is the right answer.

O Gaucho

2/11/19 1:54pm

I get that if he was the qb or point guard he is not. He just needed to come in

Dang, this is a hard choice. Who knows more about coaching BB at

BYU71

2/11/19 2:17pm

Some of the games with DNP or really low minutes he was injured

So wait, you think the best way to get someone confidence is to play them

kimdaddy35

2/11/19 4:35pm

Could not agree more. This was obvious from day 1. I realize Baxter may have

Go back and read CB the day after Cougar Tip-Off game

ColoSpgs

I missed that game but i saw the Nevada game and liked what I saw. Showed more

2/11/19 2:04pm

I was too harsh on Baxter early on. In my defense though, he missed some lay ups

Every fan of every team get bent out of shape when a player emerges that he

And then if he would have played him early and he tanked, the same guys would

Baxter has been better from game 1 than Worthington

kimdaddy35

2/11/19 4:13pm

Not even close. Even in the last game subbing Worthington for Baxter was a solid

puntersarepeople

2/11/19 4:40pm

One data point out of the whole season

Hinta

2/11/19 4:56pm

True, but to say Baxter has clearly been better than Worthington the whole time

puntersarepeople

2/11/19 5:04pm

I disagree. He wasn't ready.

JuicyJam

2/11/19 1:54pm

He played well in games 1 thru 6. What wasn't he ready for?

kimdaddy35

2/11/19 4:20pm

Idk man. I'd rewatch those games at the beginning you thought he did well on.

JuicyJam

2/11/19 4:45pm

Why do you think it is crazy that I have an opinion of getting the most

kimdaddy35

2/11/19 4:48pm

Your opinion is just extreme.

JuicyJam

2/11/19 6:08pm

Baxter himself said he wasn't ready earlier.

shhh...don't add facts to the discussion...

They mentioned that the last telecast.

BlueFreak

With all due respect. You have no idea what you are talking about.

^^^^^^^^ this

2/11/19 2:28pm

LOL, perhaps your "source" has some bias on the situation

kimdaddy35

We need you as the head coach and we need you bad. Considering you know so much,

2/11/19 4:47pm

I love people like you that think that coaches are infallible and never

kimdaddy35

Him laughing at you doesn’t mean he thinks coaches are infallible

So...

Do you understand the whole causation and correlation thing? Nevermind.

Adrielle

This is what I see when reading this post

tony

2/12/19 5:18am

So in other words, You have no idea how the game of basketball is played.

Adrielle

2/13/19 9:15am

It wasn't meant as a slight to you, just laughing at the way you called him out.

tony

We need an eye roll emoji. None of the existing ones quite express it.

Colorado

2/11/19 2:23pm

I disagree - he wasnt ready, physically, mentally, skills-wise, who knows but

BYUfan92

2/11/19 2:46pm

So many factors fans know nothing about. Not to mention his mission legs.

Lance71

2/11/19 2:49pm

How many early practices have you watched?

cougrrrr

2/11/19 2:50pm

I've been critical of Rose, but this is a silly, silly take.

The Y's Insider

2/11/19 2:57pm

I heard he didn't know how to put on his Basketball shoes by himself at first

Scooter

2/11/19 2:58pm

Look at his PT: 1st 5 games avg 14 min/game. 10 of next 13 avg < 6 min/game,

Hinta

2/11/19 3:55pm

Or, instead of breaking out, he might have just broken down.

Lance71

2/11/19 4:07pm

Or maybe he would have been hit by a meteor

Hinta

2/11/19 4:14pm

Odds are just as good to get hit with a meteor whether he was playing or not.

Lance71

2/11/19 4:17pm

Some players improve by practicing. Or so I've heard. I'm no expert.

Mojojojo

2/12/19 2:35pm

LOL, Baxter was absolutely horrible in the early season. He's come a long way.

ArchbishopMitty

2/11/19 5:35pm

My take: He should have started Baxter sooner, but he was right to not start him
