I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity I had to play for a legend - Coach Rose! As BYU player/s, fans, and alum... We’ve all been unbelievably spoiled the past 14 years. Thank you for everything Coach! You’re unreal.

I was 17 years old when Coach Rose offered me my first scholarship offer. He’s one of the best coaches I’ve ever had and even a better human. We love you, Cheryl and your entire family. Byufam4life @BYUbasketball pic.twitter.com/u70g5MoAuZ

I was with him for 7/14 years he was the head coach at BYU. It was a great honor to play for and coach with Coach Rose. I’ve learned so much from him and I’ll be forever grateful for all he has done for me. https://t.co/mu29PQLBm6

Part 1) in my time @byubasketball playing for coach, I learned how to work, how to contribute to something bigger then myself, in team and the @byubasketball family. I learned how to be more accountable , to always show up , especially when it matters most, how to sacrifice...

Part 2) and how to lead (by following great leadership), and how to enjoy the moment...because there were a lot of great moments! Each year as I’ve gotten older, I have appreciated those lessons more and more.

Part 3) As a young kid going through it, you sometimes overlook the impact of the most important things, likely due to naivety and ignorance. You think you’re just learning how to play basketball playing for someone, but you realize as you mature, you were also learning life.

— Noé Charles Abouo (@CharlesAbouo1) March 26, 2019

Part 4) Coach rose built a culture that was special and one I am proud to be a part of. That culture helped make me who I am today on and off the court and has had a lasting effect on who I am. I’m proud to have played for him for 4 years. Congrats on a great career coach!

— Noé Charles Abouo (@CharlesAbouo1) March 26, 2019

5/5) The passion, energy, winning, gems of wisdom and leading by example is what I will never forget. Congrats on a great career and I’m grateful to have had the opportunity! I know there are many great things to come from a great person! 💙🏀

Congrats to Dave Rose on a legendary career. IMO,his greatest strength is his ability to connect w/people,especially his players & lead them to invest in a culture & believe in themselves & each other.I’m forever indebted to him for his example & the impact he has on my life.

Coach, words cannot describe how much you mean to me. You believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. You gave me a second chance.. You helped me persevere, rise up and see myself again for who I really am. You are a legend, a hero, and an incredible coach. Thank You! 🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/yzAJ5UcVZx

From the day you and Coach Rice came to my home and sat in my living room I was just as thankful then as I am today for the opportunity and experiences you gave me. WE did exactly what… https://t.co/ouYDnvOK0p

was at the press conf. today where Coach Rose announced his retirement it was emotional but I could tell he was happy....I have no doubt he’s the best @BYUbasketball coach ever. I was a player at the press conf. when he got hired and I’m glad I got to be there when it ended #goat

Extremely grateful for Coach Rose because he allowed me to fulfill my life long dream to play for @BYUbasketball He truly is one of the greats and he will be remembered forever!

— Skyler Halford (@Sky_Half23) March 27, 2019

If you don’t think he cared these last few seasons, then you really didn’t pay attention while you watched. His passion and drive is what I admired most about him. He taught me to believe when very few outside of our locker room believed. https://t.co/8Botev0F5n

Congratulations to Coach Rose on a job well done! I'm happy for you and Cheryl. Sending my respect and gratitude for the classy and successful way you led the program over many years.
