I’m sure they reached out to all those guys to gauge interest, and they’ve

talked with all of them in the past for various reasons. I’m sure BYU also had a preference, but you don’t wait for #1 to say “no” before you contact #2.

Also, I think it’s pretty funny anyone would have to analyze this coaching search to determine that all those guys know better than all us guys.

I agree but I don’t question integrity. Employees leave for better opportunities

Apr 17, 12:03pm

I don’t think they even contacted Madsen

All reports indicate that they specifically targeted Young and didn't even formally reach out to Madsen.

From the outside, the hire is okay. The questions are recruiting and team

Apr 17, 9:00am

Hire is okay? what? I think its a slam dunk hire. Recruiting can be solved.

We don't know how Young will do, but once Pope left a lot of hope left. BYU

If Ainge likes him, he's a competitor. Something BYU needs.
