COACHING STAFF

Quincy Lewis is the only assistant coach (UVSC, Southern Utah, BYU Hawaii) with any experience outside of BYU. Two people on the staff, Garrett Faucette and Quincy Lewis, have college basektball experience outside the state of Utah. Garrett Faucett (2 years at George Mason as their video coordinator.....which he probably didn't make too many recruiting connections) Quincy Lewis (BYU Hawaii over 20 years ago so pretty much no recruiting connections from that time frame)

DEFENSE TRAVELS AND WINS ON THE ROAD

When the program was at its peak (last 4 years of the MWC) it was because of defense with a quick knock out punch offense

Kenpom ranked Defenses by year in the MWC followed this trend (06-11): 150, 97, 12, 35, 37, 29

Kenpom ranked Defenses by year in the WCC followed this trend (12-19): 21, 79, 93, 139, 68, 87, 54, 164 

The 2019 team is the worst defensive team in Rose's tenure.  Interesting to note that last year was his second best defensive team in the WCC but the second worst offense in the Rose era. 

BAD LOSSES and BIG LOSSES

No losses to to sub 200 KenPom ranked teams before the 2014-15 season.  8 total losses to sub 200 KenPom rated teams in the last four years (2 each year)

PLAYERS LEAVING

Transfers are one thing but best players leaving early with Euro league contracts (possibly 3 years in a row) is an awful trend that has to be reversed.
