Kevin Young's tradeoff: better post players at BYU, slightly worse guards

Kevin Young announcement coming today...my guess

Plot Twist. Pope announces Kevin Young as his new Assistant Coach at KY.

Cougarclaw

9:56am

I wouldn't put it past him

RE: Plot Twist. Pope announces Kevin Young as his new Assistant Coach at KY.

Kilgore Trout

9:57am

With Burgess as the Kentucky Water Boy

Cougs4Lfe

9:57am

Pope didn’t have 2 minutes to send BYU a thank you bc he was too busy stealing

BlooCoug

9:55am

Didn’t he do a thank you the other day?

LakeshowCougs

9:56am

No.

BlooCoug

9:57am

It was fake

Yllage Vidiot

9:59am

Makes sense

LakeshowCougs

9:59am

There was a video of him giving tearing up and being grateful to leave behind

ryebrye

9:59am

Would you believe anything he would say? I wouldn't

airbug

9:57am

Oh my word. Welcome to the current state of CBB. We celebrate NIL/free agency of

BlackBart

9:59am

Dang it now my hopes are up it’s Kevin Young

DanSmith

9:55am

And it'll be a big let down if it's anyone else...

foofcoug

9:56am

Exactly. My little heart can’t take it

DanSmith

9:57am

So - if he comes, does he get to bring some transfer players with him?

Eddie

9:58am

What does Burgess do for us now that Chandler is gone? The answer may surprise U

Iman23

9:54am

You don’t hire head coaches to get specific recruits. That’s what assistant

DieHarder

9:55am

Holmoe has a track record of taking that approach though (for wbball coach hire)

cwilke1

9:59am

I think he is a good local recruiter. He isn't the recruiter that Pope was, but

kimdaddy35

9:56am

He's probably not any worse than Pope locally

puntersarepeople

9:57am

Good recap/analysis by ESPN on the relocation of the Coyotes.

Everyman

9:54am

I think Burgess is still a very good choice. But Young is definitely the HR.

coug10278

9:53am

Why not get both.......which will happen.

airbug

9:58am

I don't think either is a home run. Neither has head coach experience and Young hasn't dealt with recruiting.

Colorado

9:58am

But Burgess has. 🙂

airbug

9:59am

Did anyone watch the Netflix documentary on the team with mob

PAKOVA

9:53am

The Atlanta Thrashers?

CameronG

9:56am

I know it has been a rough few weeks, but I am optimistic about the future. I

civilcoug

9:53am

BYU will be just fine--future is bright imo

Pope to BYU

Yllage Vidiot Humbly Awesome

9:53am

And this

slappy

9:55am

Can we all admit now that Pope was a mediocre coach who has the charisma of a

wildeone

9:52am

I believe that is what we refer to as the Anger Phase of grief.

Six Foot Seven

9:56am

Are you going to contend that he's a good coach?

wildeone

9:57am

I wouldn't be bitter if he had left after actually accomplishing something.

wildeone

9:57am

How I feel every time I look at CB or twitter this past week.

bigbyuufan

9:52am

Well I guess we know why former players always seemed ticked at Pope

Yiowa

9:51am

New coach has been hired

Big12Yfan

9:51am

They could be working on graphics before someone is hired.

CatamountFan

9:53am

If this doesn't happen by days end you will be banned from CB for one year

BYU Grounds

Coach(es). Two

airbug

i'm hearing what you're hearing

vabeachcoug

9:59am

Question, who does Danny Ainge think should be our next coach? He and Ryan

Parker Schnabel

9:50am

Did Ainge look at Kevin Young to coach the Jazz last time around?

Yllage Vidiot

9:51am

With NCAA hoops becoming more pro-like every day, coaches with NBA experience

mobicurious

9:52am

I don’t know but whoever it is would tank for a few years.

Brigham

9:53am

Kids these days want access to the NBA and money now.

airbug

9:56am

Old coach moves on to KY - new coach is KY?

foofcoug

9:50am

foofcoug obsessed with KY. Interesting.

zonacougar

9:56am

As a BYU fan I understand that if there is a really good rumor about next coach

Hoopster

9:49am

Just assume we are hiring a HS coach nobody has heard of before.

sidsie716

9:50am

I want to be really excited so I am lowering my expectations to a Jr. High

Hoopster

9:52am

Would Black being in the name "Black Diamonds" upset people trying to be PC?

Cougs4Lfe

9:48am

No doubt

Sir_Ten

9:50am

Would "Double Diamonds" work? Is that a thing? I don't ski. lol

BlueVU

9:53am

We would definitely take less heat than if it was "Utah double blacks"😂

Cougs4Lfe

9:55am

No

Everyman

9:54am

Honestly, if we land Kevin Young, I think it's a big time get.

JC6

9:47am

he can recruit to that, but can he recruit teenagers?

Cougarclaw

9:49am

Remains to be seen, but Im willing to bet he'll be ok. Kids hear NBA....

JC6

9:53am

He's a decade younger than Pope.

Parker Schnabel

9:51am

So best case scenario that everyone is hoping for is Young as head coach and

TempeCoug

9:47am

Why would Burgess make a lateral move?

BlueFever

9:48am

Doesn’t like Craig Smith? I don’t know?

TempeCoug

9:48am

With a guarantee that he becomes HC when Young leaves.

gangbusters

9:48am

That's not particularly enticing when the HC was just hired and is younger than him

krindorr

9:50am

But who perhaps has made it clear his long term future is in the NBA. idk

gangbusters

9:51am

BYU isn't a lateral move from Utah.

kccougar

9:49am

Asst. Coach to Asst. Coach in the P4. He won't do it unless he's a hardcore

BlueFever

9:55am

Add Perry as an assistant coach. And the lds assistant coach at Houston

Mostlyaccurate

9:49am

And this lamp.

kccougar

9:50am

RE: And this lamp.

gangbusters

9:50am

And my axe

sidsie716

9:54am

RE: Add Perry as an assistant coach. And the lds assistant coach at Houston

krindorr

9:51am

I wish Mark Pope a happy, successful life.

Ham

9:47am

You do have a mean streak. But it sounds good

Cougrrrs Roll

9:49am

Hopefully he is bright enough to know he has burned all bridges with BYU. He's a

Rocketman

9:50am

Frankly, I don't wish that former coach anything.

Les IsMore

9:56am

Just got on, great now we lost Chandler Collins too?! This really stinks!

BlueWand

9:46am

There it is

mjmill All-American

9:46am

If they have it done, they should announce it asap.

westsidecoug

9:47am

friday at 5pm it is

Deleted

9:47am

So it's Burgess. This is too quick for it to be Young.

Kdubb

9:47am

Maybe. What we don't know is how much Holmoe, Ryan Smith, etc. have stayed in conversations with many of these guys in

zonacougar

9:50am

I think this is probably true.

Yllage Vidiot

9:50am

Well we are wating

johnnybyu

9:47am

Is he going off the linked tweet? Probably not the case but still lol

coug10278

9:47am

Who is Matthew Baiamonte?

TADOW

9:57am

Pope is dead to me. No idea why anyone would be rooting for the guy at this

westsidecoug

9:45am

Alright, I've done it. I've turned off hockey category. Never thought I'd

Methusaleh22

9:45am

I'm not on the board much, but every time I log in, IT GET'S WORSE. What is happening?

brj8 All-American

9:44am

So it's your fault. GET OFF THE BOARD! Every time you come here it gets worse!!

Schultz is back

9:45am

You logged in! Please stop it. 😀

Hoopster

9:46am

So no Chandler. So who is our best recruit out of HS (that actually set foot on campus) historically? Ainge? Bradley?

Yllage Vidiot Humbly Awesome

9:44am

Marcus Adams maybe?

DieHarder

9:45am

According to stars? Mika.

CopaCoug

9:45am

Who also left prematurely.

Soupie

9:46am

Eric Mika was like #28 in his class and he lived up to it too.

scootsy

9:46am

Ainge or Michael Smith

AZ Coug

9:49am

Shawn Bradley without question. If there were recruiting rankings back then

NOCAL_YFAN

9:54am

We waited nearly 2 1/2 years to see one of our best commits ever

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

9:42am

This is why following recruiting etc can be a waste of time and energy. Just see

byusage

9:44am

Meh, BYU will be fine.

Benfica1

9:50am

I didn't ever expect him to play for us. Because recruiting and BYU.

CSoul

9:53am

POLL: If it's Black Diamond, would you prefer Utah or Salt Lake as the name?

Cougs4Lfe

9:41am

It's gotta be Utah, imo. Cover the whole state like the Jazz.

BlueVU

9:42am

It will be Utah if Ryan Smith wants public funding to help him with a new arena

CameronG

9:46am

The Legislature has already signed off on nearly $1B of public support,

Everyman

9:57am

I really like that name.

Ham

9:48am

Only one person can save me from this pain tonight

Chefcurry

9:41am

The REAL reason Pope didn’t say anything on his way out

Future_Tacos

9:40am

He knew he'd have more things to be thankful for - gotta wait until the

Adam_Pontipee

9:41am

The REAL reason is he doesn’t care to ever personally come back. Not a BYU guy. Burned the bridge. Now can plunder away.

Yllage Vidiot

9:47am

I said the same thing on Sunday

whoneedscorners?

9:50am

This is actually what I thought as well. He knew what he was going to do to BYU

Benfica1

9:54am

CB this morning:

DieHarder

9:40am

I'm coming around to the idea of The Black Diamonds with a Yeti mascot.

BlueVU

9:38am

Someone posted the Utah Cutthroats and I like it, had a cool logo as well.

4slyce

9:40am

Cutthroats has my vote

CameronG

9:41am

I kind of like Cutthroats for a potential MLB team.

BlueVU

9:42am

My problem with that one is times guys have died on the ice getting their throats slashed by a skate.

zonacougar

9:43am

That's true. lol

BlueVU

9:44am

I'm pretty sure those are very rare and they're going to be mandating neck

CameronG

9:45am

This would be like an NFL expansion team being named the “Cardiac Arrests” or the “CTE”

TCuz

9:50am

Black diamonds would be pretty cool

Ojiisan

9:41am

Yeti can be the mascot but for badging I like a simple double black diamond sign

kotacoug

9:41am

I am too. Is the qualtrics survey still open?

Warner

9:43am

But Utah already has a professional sports team called the Black Diamonds

machete

9:43am

LOL

kotacoug

9:44am

I may be an idiot, but what is the black diamonds thing? What does that have to

Cougar TD

9:43am

It’s a ski run, the hardest of ski runs. And Utah is famous for skiing

Warner

9:44am

Ah.... so I am an idiot . 😁 thanks

Cougar TD

9:46am

The Utah Runs

GfB

9:46am

Blue Squares or Green Circles not quite as intimidating.

ProvoY

9:45am

Salt Lake Serpents.

BlueFever

9:47am

Why don’t we just use Grizzlies? That Aves farm team will be leaving anyway.

Frank Drebin

9:55am

What have I missed this morning?

LHA

9:37am

Kevin Young in, Collin Chandler out

Warner

9:37am

Young as an assistant or as the head coach?

TempeCoug

9:39am

There’s no way he would come as an assistant

Yllage Vidiot

9:41am

I don’t know anything about him. Is he a better option than Burgess?

TempeCoug

9:43am

Word on the street is Head Coach with Burgess AHC

Warner

9:42am

Would be amazing if true

ausgezeichnet

9:44am

Chandler Young is leaving the coaching portal

Yllage Vidiot

9:38am

More and more unnecessary teeth gnashing and screaming at the sky.

Benfica1

9:40am

When it rains, it pours

letthewookieewin Walking Carpet

9:37am

People still eat at Applebee's?

cambo

9:51am

Kevin Young is making $2M/year in the NBA.

Everyman

9:37am

We all know mormons will take less to live in Utah. Sometimes it works in our favor.

kccougar

9:37am

He was married in the SLC temple. They could have family in Utah.

Dangerous

9:38am

He’s from SLC

puntersarepeople

9:42am

He’s from GA, but does have at least one brother in Utah. KY has lived in UT tho

Nittany Cougar

9:44am

Some will. Not everyone.

Tricky

9:38am

LOL... I think we need to start paying the going wage or we'll be right back to where we are at right now.

Coug

9:44am

It probably wouldn’t be less money. It would certainly be more security though

cougaman

9:47am

BYU will top that.

Jeffacka

9:38am

Pope was making more than that at BYU

JOPE

9:38am

Yep - with Young we don't have a buyout to pay for as well, so we

Dangerous

9:39am

An angle I hadn't considered

Mexicougazul

9:39am

It would take a billionaire with ties to BYU and the NBA.

Corn

9:40am

Huh...interesting. Come to think of it we might have that.

coug10278

9:41am

Like one that attends more BYU games than Jazz games?

kccougar

9:43am

The one thing we can give that nobody else will is Sundays off.

ochobeeguy

9:47am

Until he is called as a bishop - then sunday will be his hardest day

johnnybyu

9:49am

If we had a coach to recruit Chandlee yesterday would that have moved the needle

Warner

9:36am

No, I don’t think so. The Kentucky carrot is too enticing. Pope told him he could go to the NBA better from UK.

Yllage Vidiot

9:40am

When is the last time Kentucky sent someone to the NBA though…

ochobeeguy

9:49am

Don't think so. He wouldn't like being called Chandlee.

westsidecoug

9:49am

As soon as Pope left for UK, we all knew the kid was gone. I actually thought

Benfica1

9:55am

Same, I thought he would transfer anyways. Just glad it wasn't Utah.
