Re: Congratulate Coach Rose on his 300th win
Congratulations to Coach Rose as well.
I am truly happy for him. He's been a really good coach.
Still, I wish he could find that setting on his person dial to arrive at "great," in the years that remain. While I believe he's done wonderful in recruiting the top LDS talent, total success, beyond being really good, has eluded him.
This was a very frustrating game to watch as a fan to see the game go so deep toward the end minutes before the Cougs were able to secure this one. I was looking for a route. Maybe we simply invested too much in the loss Thursday. Something.
Coach Rose and I are only 11 days apart in age. I'm amazed at how quickly his hair turned full white. It has to be the stress of it all.

This game was way too close. To much of a nail biter for too long. Take the W any day - should have not have have been this close.

Re: Congratulate Coach Rose on his 300th win
I read a lot against Rose. I think he has been a great coach. He has his weaknesses but how many Mark Few's or coach K's are there in total? I only see a very few programs that are at the top and stay there every year. Even those coaches have seasons where things don't go as expected. Mich St is a great example. KY is another. Those teams get some of the very top talent but still don't always win.
I think in 2011 we were one suspension away from the NC game and a Fredette vs Walker showdown. And I like our chances in the game. He would have taken the team farther than any other coach in BYU history. That was a huge miss but it also speaks well of the integrity of the school and the program. What other school would have acted immediately or would they have stalled the investigation until after the tourny (or in some cases swept it under the rug). Add to that the infraction was acceptable on nearly every other campus in the country (ironic that Baylor is not one of them at least as it was founded).
With BD we beat FL, VCU, and Butler going away. Then the showdown. So I give kudos to a very good coach.

Re: Congratulate Coach Rose on his 300th win
Trading coaches is over rated. Rose is the winningest coach in BYU history (by percentage). Who do we get that can best that? We tried it with the football team and while the jury is still out on them, and I like Kalani's energy, I haven't seen anything that has overly impressed me with this new staff that says we have definitely upgraded.

Coach Rose has two wins in a row as a visiting coach at the Kennel. Not many coaches can say that! Coach Rose is awesome!
