I don't but I expect us to get past the first round now and then. And I expect it more often than once every two generations. Can I reasonably expect BYU to be one of the best 32 teams now and then? That doesn't seem unreasonable to me. Apparently the aspirations I hold for our program are proving to be too difficult and too lofty.

Rose appears to be a good, not a great coach. My main complaint about him is the failure to adjust to changes made by the other team and his half court pressure time offense. He gets the team to play decent, not great, defense and the running offense is quite good. Yet tourney games devolve into half court games, and that is the major weakness of most of his teams at BYU.

Why is that sports fans are so interested in what type of human being a coach is? It means nothing to us. Majerus, somebody I admire deeply, was worse as a human being than Arnold. Granted, neither was a Bronco Mendenhall or a Lavell Edwards. However, as long as Majerus won what type of person he was was pointless. Same with Arnold. As long as he won the fact he was abusive was going to be ignored. Once he stopped winning he was fired, not for being abusive but because he wasn't a reall good basketball coach.

Rose is not a legenday type of coach but if he were at Arizona the Wildcats would win more NCs than they would under Lute Olsen.

Div I Basketball - 32 of about 340 teams = 9% of teams win a first round game. Seems pretty similar to me. |

A&M combined strong defense along with a large front line that dominated the boards.
You look at the MWC, and it is big-man-lite. I didn't expect BYU to win. |
