I don't see KY bolting anytime soon because I imagine BYU will be a better fit for his family for the time being but...

I could see KY eventually going back to the NBA ( If he's good as good as he's been portrayed to be which I believe he is ) and it wouldn't shock me to see him at some point down the road as HC for the Jazz.

Why did BYU NIL explode as soon as Young was named coach?

I’ve had the same questions. Excited to hear some CB wisdom on this.

My theory (no inside info)

byujdmba

Or people with money didn’t want to donate to NIL while Pope was coach?

JohnnyC

May 28, 10:48pm

This is my guess. Pope was somewhat abrasive on top of not being a BYU guy

tacallaway

May 28, 11:41pm

Pope and Smith were besties. Don’t overthink this.

Cougarbib

May 29, 12:25am

Yeah, they were neighbors

icecougar

May 29, 1:07am

Not just neighbors. The Smith family went to Rupp Arena for Pope's introduction.

KY isn’t a BYU guy and will probably also bolt when given the right chance-

Dude had an NBA job. He chose BYU.

This hasn’t been proven. He interviewed for multiple, but didn’t have an offer

May 29, 8:11am

I’ll take Ryan Smiths word when he says he would have an NBA coaching job.

cougaman

May 29, 8:18am

Okay. That doesn’t mean he had an offer on the table.

Dwide_Schrude

May 29, 8:23am

Essentially it’s the same thing. He knew he could have been an NBA coach, but

He was literally an assistant for the Phoenix suns, hence had an NBA job. I think what you're arguing is whether he

KY literally said when asked about choosing BYU, "the Nets were waiting to hear back from him"

KY has said that a big part of the decision is his family

I agree with this, but at the same time, talk is cheap.

Unlike Pope or Pope's wife, KY's wife attended BYU, and KY spent a little time on BYU campus in the past

I don’t think he signs a 7 year deal if he’s thinking about bolting at the first

Chase05

Seems obvious he took the job in part because his wife wants to be here

I disagree with this

Sounds like a BYU fan theory based only on hurt feelings from Pope leaving

My theory is that just like our kids get teased at school for being BYU fans, so we’re Ryan Smith’s. So he decided to

There are people with money, and then there are people like Ryan Smith.

May 29, 10:07am

That’s mine too. It was like “oh crap… we can’t take a step back without pope”

I wouldn’t say freaking out. Definitely a determination to move forward though

I'm thinking this too. Young can talk with credibilty about getting kids to NBA

This might be the next phase of NIL growth for BYU...

icecougar

This is the correct answer.

Adrielle

May 29, 8:17am

Pope talked about collective/NIL being in a good place at the end of the season

cougfan03

May 28, 10:49pm

We did not need any “good additions” if Pope stayed. He had 13 guys already

Cougarbib

Didn't BYU fork out a ton for Hill as DC?

Half a ton.
