Connor from the Ute coaching staff?

Great coach, but not an option for byu

thebruce

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.

I knew Alex growing up. I can't speak to his feelings now, but back then his

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.

thebruce

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.

Shteve

2/6/17 12:52pm

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

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

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

2/6/17 12:53pm

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

thebruce

He's gone from player development to a front row assistant in two years

Still only 30 jobs. Not easy to get one... Could be 20 yrs from

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.

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

Basketball vs. baby-sitting.

Shteve

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

thebruce

2/6/17 3:29pm

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.

Why are there very few basketball and football coaches that come out of the BYU

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

thebruce

Maybe because most BYU grads want to earn more money

Playing experience matters a lot.

Shteve

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

2/6/17 4:22pm

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
