Is he could actually be a lifer. It was apparent with Pope from the very beginning that BYU was a means to an end of his aspirations. His goal was never to get BYUs program to be consistently good. It was always to bolt the minute he had an opportunity.

Whereas with Young, he turned down or at the very least stopped pursuing head coaching positions in the NBA. The highest level of basketball. He made it clear that his family’s happiness is high priority and his wife is the main reason he’s in Provo.

I’m thrilled because Young is actually capable of building something consistently great. That was never going to be the case with our former coach.
