What makes Mark Pope declare BYU assistant Cody Fueger is ‘100% ready to be a head coach right now’

PROVO — During his basketball coaching career, BYU assistant Cody Fueger has served under, and learned from, a few of the best coaches that the Beehive State has ever produced — Utah’s Rick Majerus, BYU’s Dave Rose and Utah State’s Stew Morrill.

Now, Fueger is a key contributor to the success of Mark Pope’s program. In Pope’s first season, BYU posted a 24-8 record, finished with a No. 18 ranking and was projected to be a No. 6 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Pope believes Fueger is headed for big things in the future and he enjoys extolling Fueger’s virtues.
