OREM — Over lunch Tuesday, BYU coach Dave Rose and his Utah Valley counterpart, Mark Pope, concocted a contingency plan for when they move on from coaching.
The idea hatched as the friends stood side-by-side sporting their school logos, plastic gloves and smiles in a Subway restaurant assembly line. The good-spirited coaches took time out of their busy schedules to help make sandwiches for a good cause — raising awareness and support for the fight against cancer.
“We’re thinking about getting a store,” Rose said. “He would own it. I would work in it.”
That setup would be a practical one.
