may be strongly influenced by that factor. I've seen documentaries and read biographies of NFL and NBA coaches, and a common theme is the constant stress and lack of quality personal and family life.

John Madden's documentary comes to mind. His interviews, and those of his family, talk of the long and constant toll that coaching a professional sports team takes on the emotional and physical well-being of the coach. He unexpectedly announced his retirement from coaching the Oakland Raiders at age 42, while still in the prime of his coaching years, and two years after winning the Super Bowl. He cited burnout and ulcers caused by stress as the reasons, and then he went on to have a long and memorable career as an NFL sportscaster.

For Young to turn down a head coaching job in the NBA for the BYU job seems like an awesome way to achieve better family and life balance for him. And it's a major win for BYU basketball. I'm stoked about this hire
