Connor from the Ute coaching staff?

Great coach, but not an option for byu

Too bad.

fbguru

2/6/17 12:55pm

Why not? He's LDS (I believe)...and Utah has turned him down 3 times now

jsjohnson1278

2/6/17 2:59pm

Do you have evidence he's not an option?

Alex Jensen, Jazz coach. I don't know if he would be interested, but

The list should begin with Jensen.

Jensen's wife is a huge BYU fan, so there would probably be some interest

Would love to have Alex Jensen.

He'd be the best choice Imo.

2/6/17 12:50pm

Anyone who coached under Majerus has to know a lot about Defense as well

ayfan

2/6/17 12:53pm

My top 3 are 1. Alex Jensen 2. Mark Madsen 3. Lewis/pope

thebruce

2/6/17 12:47pm

While options, I highly doubt Jensen or Madsen would take this job.

Alex could make a lot more money as a BYU HC then he is right now. If he got

How many former college HC are NBA HC right now? Do the numbers.

Shteve

2/6/17 1:02pm

Snyder is. I'm not digging through every NBA coaches resume. But if you have

Chicago, Utah, Boston, Okc all have former college head coaches.

Exactly, odds aren't great at all. Just calling out incorrect facts.

Shteve

2/6/17 1:40pm

there are more: Charlotte, Detroit, Minnesota, San Antonio all were College HC's

ayfan

2/6/17 1:57pm

Yep, and all of them went straight from college HC to NBA HC....

I think Jensen would likely consider it.

thebruce

2/6/17 12:55pm

And yes, you're right. There are probably some non-basketball aspects

Shteve

2/6/17 1:48pm

Madsen is in line to become an NBA HC. He isn't really an option for BYU.

CaliWG

Madsen isn't even the lead assistant for the Lakers. I do think he may be an

Going to restate it again. Theres a reason they chose the NBA over college.

Shteve

2/6/17 1:45pm

And there's a reason many coaches choose college over nba.

thebruce

2/6/17 1:55pm

Let me rephrase that. Those that taste the NBA usually stay there.

Shteve

2/6/17 1:57pm

I still think that is an incorrect narrative.

thebruce

2/6/17 2:04pm

Jensen decided he didn't like the college coaching thing when he

Basketball vs. baby-sitting.

Shteve

2/6/17 3:11pm

I haven't seen anything from him that says he didn't enjoy college coaching.

thebruce

Signed Billy Donovan, Larry Brown, etc...

2/6/17 4:21pm

Madsen wanted the UVU job. Seems the BYU job would be at least as attractive.

Utah has a lot of good options to replace krysco some day.

Maybe because most BYU grads want to earn more money

Playing experience matters a lot.

Question should be with Rose, Assistants

New assistants! Coach Rose can recruit but he needs a

What makes you think he wouldn't rub our athletes

rockhound

I don't know that he won't. He's a talented guy

If Pope improves at UVU before Rose retires it will be Pope
