The other WCC schools will have the catholic students but BYU will have the Pope.

I don't know why he'd go from an assistant at an NBA team to an assistant at BYU.

So does Childs now see an opportunity to improve his game with a former big man as the head coach and stay for another year? Or has that ship sailed?

Re: White smoke seen coming from the Marriott Center - Pope named
Oh, that one had flown over my head. I understood the white smoke as in picking the next Pope, but forgot to relate it to Mark's name.CrimsonCoug wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 10:39 am I agree. I was hoping for Madsen but I think Pope will do well. Looks like the other conversations he was having in Minnesota during Final Four weekend didn't pan out as he'd hoped
Nice thread title, btw!
The Mormon school is being led by a Pope

Yeah, I wish, but I find it hard to believe that he'd take a job with the pay a BYU BB assistant coach would make. Yes, he might be out of a job, but really, he's done quite well at getting opportunities, even without the prior experience, so he must be impressive.

I really started to have my heart set on Madsen, but I also think Pope will do a great job.

I think it great. Even if his goal is to use us as a stepping stone to a Kentucky job. He will need to build the Y to a nationally relevant program before UK or any big time team would be interested in him. So, go for it, and we'll come along for the ride.
