How many other coaching staffs can claim that?

Mark Pope won the nationl title at Kentucky in 1996

Chris Burgess was a key reserve on the 1999 Duke team that was #1 for the majority of the year and lost in the championship game to UConn

Nick Robinson was a starter for Stanford in 2004 when they were ranked #1 in the country heading into the NCAA Tournament

Robinson LDS? Plans to become LDS?

mulletino

I'm pretty sure he is LDS, could be wrong though, probably a good coach either

Avery

4/24/19 8:36am

Well, his record as head coach at Southern Utah certainly doesn't instill a lot

basman

4/24/19 8:55am

He’s had some good success as an assistant coach. Not everyone is

Perhaps, we can hope. So what examples would you cite as good success while

basman

4/24/19 10:04am

Agree. It’s trust in Pope at this point. Honestly that’s the case for all

You have to understand what a smoldering crater the SUU program was

4/24/19 12:33pm

I understand that, but he didn't improve. In fact his best conference finish

basman

4/24/19 1:40pm

I'll give you that. And Simon has really improved the program year to year

Robinson failed miserably in his four years as head coach at Southern Utah, he

basman

4/24/19 9:04am

Not everyone is made out to be a head coach. Dave Rice

Schultz is back

4/24/19 9:09am

Hopefully that's what happens here if he becomes part of the staff.

basman

4/24/19 9:42am

Has anybody succeeded at Southern Utah? What its resources?

Archaea

Burgess's focus at UVU was development of post players and Defensive game

I wish there was a little diversity

Blackish

Lip Gallagher

The BYUSN guys didn't know. When it's your job, you'd think they would know.

Blue Coat

Why? You think they have a file on every LDS coach in the country that they

I'm confused. Are you looking for a female coach or something?

YIsForBrigham

4/24/19 10:22am

1. There is diversity. 2. Diversity is overrated.

Who is Cody Fueger?

Archaea

Former BYU Dir of BB Ops. His UVU bio is fairly comprehensive:

What do we know about him?

Archaea

4/24/19 12:24pm

We know this much

Schultz is back

4/24/19 1:12pm

Will there be more hires? Seems like there are more assistants.

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

4/24/19 12:56pm

Those are the 3, but there should be 1 more for Bball operations.
