BYU guard TJ Haws tries to drive on Gonzaga guard Silas Melson during game in the Marriott Center in Provo on Saturday, Feb. 24, 2018. The Cougars are expected to play a more uptempo style in 2018-19.
PROVO — One day after BYU capped its 24-11 season with a first-round NIT loss at Stanford, assistant basketball coach Heath Schroyer accepted the head coaching job at McNeese State.
Schroyer’s second tour of duty in Provo lasted just one year but his contributions made a significant impact in how the Cougars play, with a slower tempo and more emphasis on the defensive end.
