I hadn’t heard of Kevin Young until today. Does he have BYU ties at all?

Not sure. Suns fans are apparently distraught, since he was reportedly in line for an NBA head coaching position, and when Monte Williams was fired last year he was also reportedly Devin Booker and Kevin Durant's choice to succeed him. I'm worried about his recruiting ability, but he has all the street cred he needs.Originally posted by Joe Public View Post"I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch!

That is a nice connection. And with his NBA cred and profile, I think we will be just fine recruiting. We should find out pretty quickly, though.

Haha. You confidently predicted that the next hire would be a downgrade.Originally posted by Non Sequitur View Post"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Ha, so true. I've been in a funk since UK hired Pope away. Didn't help to have the transfer portal guys and then Chandler. mrs. myboynoah kept saying, "hey, this could work out for the best." And, I think she might be right.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostWhat a difference a few hours makes. From to all in one day.
Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Dang cool that this is getting such national attention. UK hiring Pope teed it up, and then this hire kills it. Big props to Holmoe, Ainge, and Smith.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

KY's brother running a major website assessing HS B-Ball talent is a major plus. Hilarious how the pendulum has swung today. I should know better to wait things out a bit.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

Word on the street is that Brigham Young's great, great, great grandson, Kevin Young was all set to be the hire back when BYU ended up hiring Pope, but the admins were worried about the confusion of the student section saying "Whoosh Kevin" after every made BYU FT, so they had to wait until Worthen stepped down as president.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

This is as much of a homerun hire as I've ever seen at BYU, both in terms of the best fit possible and in the speed of doing it. Maybe he keeps Hall here.Comment

This seems like a home run hire. The guy was a finalist for multiple NBA head coaching gigs and is now coaching BYU. Crazy.Comment
