Lunacy. BYU doesn't fire guys like Rose.

We don't have the players. We just don't. Hard to win with good horses, but not great horses.

Could a new coach recruit better? I'm not so sure. I doubt it.

Yes, I have been critical of Rose about a number of things. Particularly him playing soft white guys who have some ball skills but no defense, over some more athletic guys who play much better defense and have room to improve on the offensive side. Seems like that happened every year. And it led to transfers. The white guy eventually transfers because he is eventually benched. And the raw player transfers to due to lack of playing time and frustration.

But I think that changed this year. I think Rose is finally valuing defense and defensive effort. I think new Rose is much more likely to bench and discipline his "stars."
