Dick Harmon: TJ Haws finding needed rhythm for BYU heading down the stretch in WCC play

Silas Walker, Deseret News

TJ Haws is getting his mojo back.

This 13-9 season isn’t what some expected out of BYU basketball, but the BYU junior has been a productive gadget player for Dave Rose. He works hard on defense, plays smarter, has been more consistent, dependable and captain-worthy. At times, Haws has been a deadly assassin from short and long range and the line, and nobody gets his teammates more involved.

A year ago, Haws’ confidence took a hit while working in Heath Schroyer’s deliberate offensive system.

Today, Haws isn’t perfect. But as the Cougars wind their way to Las Vegas and the West Coast Conference Tournament, the game Haws is playing is much closer to a Picasso than something from Disney.
