I don't think a loss to USU would cause panic, unless BYU was blown out

USU is a ranked team, they'll be pretty much at full strength, and it's a neutral court. Losing to ranked teams away from home isn't going to ruin a season, even if it would suck to lose to two (three, BSU) rivals.

Smart young staff with lots of energy. Makes a huge difference.

I think this is a huge part of it. New young staff who are extremely motivated.

I actually thought Childs did pretty well passing it out to open players.

He did. Given the number of double teams he was seeing though, he probably should have taken fewer shots.

Particularly in the first half. Did much better in the second half

I agree with this. YC kicked the ball out to the perimeter a ton . . .

Rose was burnt out. He started with same vigor but ran out of steam.

Yeah those MWC years with Rose were some fun seasons

If only 2 pts can be blamed on the refs, they cost us the game

Didn't say it could or should be but see it as a factor that can't be ignored. The players allowed it to get in their

Kalani has plenty of public energy. What he doesn't have is the energy to deal

About as unfounded a claim that can be made, Pope been pulling guys quick too

I hated rose’s sub patterns.

There was a pre-game talk video of Pope with the team in Hawaii and pope was telling the team to "TRUST" in each other.

Rose through 2015 was great. An area where Rose was pretty good and where Pope

Agree. Rose was superb until modern analytics changed game and passed Rose by.

Rose needed good assistants

He does not play a 1-3-1 zone that never worked. Also plays

Get back to us when Pope wins a conference tourney. Because Rose did it all, but that was his weakness.

Love the comment from Pope about getting used to 30 point wins, Rose struggled

Having 6 seniors will help any new coach look good

Like Kalani first year as head coach.....you know what happened the fallowing

JohnnyC

12/11/19 9:08am

Agreed. I just wish Dastrup had stuck around to play for Pope. Nixon's

mcnasty

Seems the Beavers aren't too concerned about using him much either which poses questions for that conclusion.

Soupie

12/11/19 10:06am

Dastrup's minutes, points, rebounds and shooting are all down at Oregon St. this year

Indy Coug

12/11/19 10:07am

I still think his skill set works well with what this team does on offense.

mcnasty

12/11/19 10:19am

Know nothing about the OSU coaching but I'd also think/hope our new staff would get more out of him. Certainly

When BYU finishes 2nd in the WCC I’ll agree with your subject line

Pope is doing great. Excited to see the future! No need to bring Rose into this.

12/11/19 11:23am

Absolutely. Some recency memory loss going on here. Rose was a great coach for many years.

Soupie

12/11/19 11:30am

Rose was great, but I'm sure he got a little Trunky his last years... Didn't

Rose was good. Pope is good. Thanks to both.
