Late night internet sleuthing. Kevin young follows Ryan Smith on Twitter/X

Why would he not? One’s an NBA owner & another a young NBA AHC.

Soupie

12:39am

I can’t see all of the people he follows but I didn’t see any other owners.

Maybe bc the Jazz stink & may be needing a new coach soon.

Also, being followed by a bunch of local BYU media. Not that it means anything.

He also follows @bringatrailer. He must be moving!

Also unimaginable that some people thought Kentucky would hire Pope.

Completely different. Mark preemptively said NO. And he said it publicly. What part of no do you not understand? No

Really hard to believe both are coming. Can’t imagine Burgess taking a number 2 job to a younger guy.

He doesn’t have the depth he needs. Suns sold their soul to sign Kevin Durant.

I think that’s inaccurate. An NBA guy coming in is going to be like glue for players who want to play in the NBA.

No, Santiago does that part after reminding Tom he can’t be fired b/c he saw Tom
