BYU basketball coach Dave Rose is healthy and has lots of energy, but he’s also 60. If, or when he decides to step down, who would replace him?

Provo • BYU basketball coach Dave Rose, who turned 60 last December and overcame cancerous tumors and spots on his pancreas in 2009 and 2013, has shown no signs of slowing down, assistant coach Tim LaComb said last week.

“I will have a scan in the spring and hopefully go for another six months [without cancer],” he said. “That’s how I have lived my life for the last 10 years, and right now I feel great.”

Rose signed a five-year contract extension in 2015 that will take him through the 2019-20 season. He’s done or said nothing to indicate that he doesn’t plan on staying at BYU for at least two more years.
