BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe talks with the media during a roundtable discussion on campus Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2019, in Provo.
PROVO — Will BYU break with tradition and hire an experienced Division I head basketball coach to replace Dave Rose?
History says BYU has usually elevated an assistant coach or plucked an up-and-coming talent from the high school or junior college ranks, or hired a coach who has been an experienced assistant coach at another school.
That may change this time around.
Part of that old approach has been financial as BYU doesn’t like to get in an arms race chasing coaches with bundles of cash.
