From the time I first set foot on the BYU campus in the fall of 1958, there has been a parade of outstanding basketball players who transferred to BYU and then had a significant impact on the program.

Because of the number of BYU basketball players who have recently left the team to play at other schools or to play professionally, there appears to be an extraordinary amount of angst about the direction of the program.
