BYU is closing in on selecting a new head coach to lead its men’s basketball program, following Dave Rose’s retirement after 14 successful seasons.
In keeping with university policy, the school has submitted four candidates’ names for approval by leaders of its governing institution, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, according to a source with knowledge of the process. Those final four candidates shouldn’t be surprising to anyone following the search: Utah Valley head coach Mark Pope, Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Mark Madsen, Portland State head coach Barret Peery and current BYU interim head coach Quincy Lewis.
