We've all witnessed a very quick structural shift in BYU basketball

Crazy to see how fast a good coach can change the standards of a program,

CougarChaser

I think it's as much the $ as the coach that's changing the standards.

Dave Rose would’ve killed to have money for a couple extra studs no doubt

this more than anything

BYURider

And the coach is largely responsible for that as well. KY energized donor base.

A good coach who likes being at BYU and who believes its standards work to his advantage.

I generally agree, but this will be a great season even if we don't get to the elite 8.

Of course it's great...this is the season changing the standard.

I find your post both tautological and irritating.

Kevin Young may leave for more money, but

I think he is benefiting… but I also think he was a catalyst for the change more

Thanks - perfectly stated,

Herein lies some of the angst fans on here had with Pope

Totally agree that KYoung plans to stay, expects to stay and it would take a

If you think that little of KY then you don’t understand the game,

Cswilliam01

Mar 26, 6:16am

I think Kevin Young is amazing

Hazzard

Mar 26, 1:10pm

Really bad take imo. College basketball has long been known as a "coaches game."

Roko's Basilisk

My post above was quick and simplified

Hazzard

Mar 26, 1:13pm

Kevin Young brought in his NBA people & his brother, his secret recruit weapon

Mabuhay Coug

Mar 26, 9:16am

Not at all. He’s the catalyst for all of it.

Nick Saban could have been poached by the NFL…but he is more famous and

KY has been huge, but the shift in program thinking is structural

WVU_Prof

Mar 26, 6:34am

Of tautology and superfluous verbosity

I can't stand a "proclivity for sesquipedalian circumlocution . . ."

If only there was a longer way of saying that.

10 million plus?? not yet. Maybe if he wins a couple of championships.

BYURider

Mar 26, 8:33am

I think we’ve found our legacy coach in KY. He clearly had the option to stay

TigermanCougarman

Mar 26, 10:18am

I only disagree about your last two

RexburgCougar

Mar 26, 5:26am

That's fair...A Sweet Sixteen will always be a big deal.

WVU_Prof

Mar 26, 6:35am

Sweet 16 is a great season...dead stop. Even with the current paradigm thinking

Fdnman

Mar 26, 5:31am

Point taken...I had trouble deciding where the line is between good/great.

WVU_Prof

Mar 26, 6:48am

I'm not quite there yet.

I witnessed this same shift in expectations with Boise State Football fans.

Haha. To be special season have to make final 4? Sweet 16 is only a good year, not great or special? This is just

yapacoug

I concede that the good to great line is probably too high.

WVU_Prof

I think BYU will (almost?) always accept NIT invitations. Coaches and players

NYC and Japan

Mar 26, 6:59am

Did you see the NIT lineup this year?

WVU_Prof

Mar 26, 7:03am

I still think BYU would accept the invitation and play

kC Cougar

Mar 26, 7:06am

Hard to say for sure. Its a different landscape than 3 years ago on that.

WVU_Prof

Mar 26, 7:12am

No I did not. Why would I even look, unless BYU was invited.

NYC and Japan

Mar 26, 7:13am

No data but has an opinion. You fit right in here!!!

We'll see if the Crown event persists. TBD

Gentleman Stan

Mar 26, 9:30am

Not quite there. This year is already Special Season - Top 3 - with S16.

refunder

Mar 26, 7:45am

I agree...we're still shifting from the old standards. This is a special year!

WVU_Prof

Mar 26, 3:46pm

And now they’ve changed the goal posts because we can’t compete. The $22MM cap

Q-grr

Mar 26, 9:50am

No, the $22M is from the school, it doesn’t limit the amount of outside NIL

cougsareforreal

Little early to call it a structural shift

bjc

Mar 26, 10:29am

It's not a shift based on performance...it's based on underlying factors.

WVU_Prof

Mar 26, 3:50pm

You should do a poll. Not sure many would agree w/ your new standards for success.

BlooGeek

Mar 26, 10:51am

I think most people don't like the Elite 8 line...should have said Sweet 16.
