You ungrateful bastards! You are really discussing firing the greatest coach in byu basketball's non-illustrious history, a man who beat cancer WHILE HE WAS COACH, and gave you all JIMMER, the lead actor in every byu-themed wet dream that has occured in the last decade? For shame.
You are all like those prideful ute fans (like Art vandelay) that talk about replacing Kyle. You guys make me sick.

I was wrong. He has 1 tourney win sans Jimmer. Thus the question is: is that as good as can be expected for BYU basketball?
BYU overall NCAA tournament: 15-32 (31.9%)
BYU before Rose: 11-24 (31.4%)
BYU since expansion to 32 teams in 1975: 11-22 (33.3%)
BYU since expansion to 64 teams in 1985: 7-18 (28.0%)
BYU with Watts: 4-9 (30.8%) - never more than one win in a season
BYU with Potter: 0-1 (0.0%)
BYU with Arnold: 3-3 (50.0%) - all 3 wins were in 1981 Elite Eight run
BYU with Anderson: 2-3 (40.0%) - never more than one win in a season
BYU with Reid: 2-5 (28.6%) - never more than one win in a season
BYU with Cleveland: 0-3 (0.0%)
BYU with Rose: 4-8 (33.3%)

- Dave Rose recruited the a chubby kid from NY who was the best thing to happen to BYU basketball since, a cocky kid with a bowl cut from Eugene.
- Dave Rose has lost more games in the NCAA tournament than he has won*
I'm torn on what to do with DR. Like KD, I think he has earned the right to stay through some bad years. In fact, I think BYU will eventually play on Dave Rose Court at the Marriott Center. However, he is trending in the wrong direction. To lose to inferior teams on as regular basis as he does, is a sign of bad coaching. Since joining the WCC. Gonzaga has lost to 0 teams other than SMC or BYU. St. Marys has lost to 5 games . BYU has lost 13...and counting.
* Without looking, I would guess on teams that didn't have St. Jimmer, Rose has only won 2 real (NIT doesn't count) tournament games."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

1) Not enough coaching candidates
2) LDS talent pool is not good
Take a look at St. Mary's and Gonzaga. Both are small schools that play in small (or tiny) gyms. Both have been in the WCC forever. Neither school has a football team, let alone a D1 team. Yet they both dominate us and the Zags have a great overall tourney record. St. Mary's does it with mostly stiff white dudes. Light years beyond ours. Football has structural barriers, but the sky is the limit with basketball."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?

Preach it, Patrick.

In what has become customary, along with frustrating, BYU enters the final week of the WCC season likely destined to finish in third place. Another third-place finish would be the fifth time the Cougars have ended there in the seven seasons since joining the conference.There is no shame playing second fiddle to Gonzaga, formerly a cute program tucked away in the Northwest that has become a national power built on the strength of routinely recruiting future NBA players. But nobody outside of Moraga, California, thought BYU would struggle to keep pace with Saint Mary’s, a cute program tucked away in the hills north of Oakland built on the strength of importing talent from Australia.
Yet, here are the Cougars, perpetually finishing down under.
Each year, the story changes but the results stay the same. For a multitude of reasons, BYU suffers a series of unacceptable losses to lowly WCC teams that derail any chance at earning an NCAA at-large berth."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?

If we don't make the tournament next year I'm going to start to wonder if it might be time for Dave to think about retirement. I'm not quite there yet.
And I'm not a fan that supports a coach to the ends of earth, no matter what. I was actually off the Crowton bandwagon even before his first season ended. Maybe that was unfair and extreme of me. Or maybe I was already seeing troubling signs of bad things to come, which did come. I really liked Mendenhall at first and then got a little lukewarm on him later. I was also much more critical of Coach Cleveland than Coach Rose.Last edited by BlueK; 02-21-2018, 11:30 AM.
