Alan Andrus has always been a BYU fan, but his son Roman left BYU for Snow College then Utah State, where the Aggies gave him an opportunity the Cougars could not — a chance to start.
A native of Provo, Roman grew up a BYU fan and attended BYU camps. His father met his mother at BYU in grad school. His grandfather and great-grandfather both taught at BYU and his uncle Steve and aunt Nancy both played basketball for the Cougars in the late '80s.
Sitake got to see Roman play briefly for a week during spring ball after he was hired, right before Roman broke his finger and his opportunity to show his wares was over.
