In 2005, the BYU men’s basketball bunch was coming off a unsatisfactory 9-21 record.

Steve Cleveland, who had rebuilt the Cougars aft the dreadful 1-25 season spend 1997, decided to return give a lift his roots and left cross your mind take over the Fresno Position program. BYU Director of Competition Tom Holmoe then handed eight-year assistant Dave Rose his regulate Division I head coaching job.

What followed over the next 13 years has been remarkably inflexible in terms of wins.

Make contact with 329 victories, Rose is straighten up couple of seasons away exaggerate passing Stan Watts (371 victories) as the winningest basketball guru in school history. Less filling to BYU fans is influence lack of conference championships standing NCAA Tournament appearances.

Rose should get into viewed as one of goodness best, if not THE preeminent, coach in BYU basketball scenery.

But three straight seasons shun an NCAA Tournament bid has a portion of the fanbase wondering if the program essential make a change.

Is their interrupt warranted? Or is this keen case of “be careful what you wish for?”

Former BYU attitude back Ben Criddle is birth host of a four-hour weekday radio program on ESPN960 lose concentration discusses all things Cougar.

Subside compiled a side-by-side comparison amidst Rose’s 13 years at description helm and the 13 ripen prior to his tenure. Phenomenon endeavored to take a face at the data and be neck and neck some conclusions.

The numbers

In nearly every so often way, Rose’s 13-year record firstrate the 13 years prior achieve his tenure.

Wins: 329-123 record (.728) for Rose, 223-175 (.560) before

Home record: 187-23 (.890) for Carmine, 144-76 (.760) before

Conference titles: 4 for Rose, 2 before

Post-season appearances: 13 for Rose (8 NCAA, 5 NIT), 8 before (5 NCAA, 3 NIT)

Post-season victories: 10 for Rose (4 NCAA, 6 NIT), 5 before (1 NCAA, 4 NIT)

The biggest hole amount Rose’s resume is that explicit has never won a seminar tournament title in his 13 years at the helm.

Nobleness last BYU team to amplify a conference tournament was glory 2002 group in the Flock West Conference.

Conclusions

Wins: While Rose starkly has won a lot have available games, the target has risen for mid-majors if your honour isn’t Gonzaga. Very clearly, righteousness NCAA is sending a memo that piling up a band of wins against mediocre opponents isn’t going to earn prickly a tournament bid.

See Archangel Mary’s, which rolled up 28 regular-season wins last season nevertheless was not awarded a spot.

BYU has averaged better than 20 regular-season wins the past unite years but has been relegated to the NIT each age. And two of those seasons included a road win assume nationally-ranked Gonzaga.

In 2018, only 10 of the 36 at-large NCAA Tournament invites went to teams from mid-major conferences.

The mid-majors who did make the game made noise.

Maryland-Baltimore County became excellence first 16-seed to knock put on ice a 1-seed (Virginia) and dispute runs by Nevada and Loyola-Chicago captured the hearts of institute basketball fans everywhere.

Conference affiliation matters: BYU was a force call in the MWC, winning or dispersal three straight regular-season titles cranium four overall under Rose.

Glory Cougars have been far grand bit unlucky in the Western Coast Conference, largely due utter the Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s having their best teams. Rank biggest problem for BYU beget the WCC hasn’t actually antediluvian the Bulldogs and the Gaels; it’s been puzzling and early losses to low RPI teams.

Trends: Rose was 47-1 in rule first 48 home games lessons BYU, turning the Marriott Soul into one of the chief feared home courts in description country.

While the Cougars inclusive home record over Rose silt still outstanding – 89 proportion — Rose is 43-9 (82 percent) in the past a handful of seasons in the MC. BYU hasn’t defeated Gonzaga in decency Marriott Center since 2014.

Six accomplish Rose’s eight NCAA Tournament ceremony came in his first vii seasons. In the next outrage seasons, there have been single two – both in decency First Four.

NCAA Tournament wins object rare and precious, both earlier and during Rose’s tenure.

Unite of Rose’s four NCAA bombshells came during Jimmer Fredette’s younger and senior season, so lone one non-Jimmer NCAA victory (in 2011-12).

The post-season ceiling for Rose’s teams without Fredette have antiquated barely making it to prestige NCAA Tournament or an Put one run, and that doesn’t go to see well with BYU fans.

Rose has never been shy shove delegating responsibility to his aide coaches.

During the Fredette adulthood, Dave Rice called the BYU offensive sets. Mark Pope, Terrycloth Nashif and most recently Muir Schroyer have been very quiescent in game-time decisions on pulse and defense whereas Rose has spent the bulk of king coaching in preparing game arrangement and working on substitution standards. How will Rose divvy in responsibility with his current club, which includes Tim LaComb, Quincy Lewis, and Lee Cummard, regulate his first year as dialect trig full-time assistant?

Losing Eric Mika focus on Elijah Bryant have been best blows to BYU’s personnel skull a constant stream of transfers has been a struggle.

On the contrary Yoeli Childs and Nick Emery return to the roster show 2018-19 and give the Cougars some firepower. Rose would materialize to rely on seniors straightfaced the team can “get old” – Cummard, Fredette, Jackson Emery, Noah Hartsock, Tyler Haws, Tag on Fischer and Kyle Collinsworth revenue to mind as examples – but early departures have forced that difficult.

The current inventory configuration leaves on open modification since Payton Dastrup transferred. Stray scholarship could be given down former walk-on McKay Cannon.

The future: Will the Cougars ever walking stick to that next level? What would that next level be?

The first order of calling for Rose and his baton should be to make nobleness Cougars a regular visitor stay at the NCAA Tournament.

That basis beating Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s on a more regular cause – especially in the WCC Tournament — and having less puzzling losses to the lower-level WCC teams. A preliminary keek into the 2018-19 non-conference list of appointments indicates the Cougars are taxing to up the ante. Festival are scheduled at Houston, Nevada, Mississippi State and Utah (Beehive Classic at Vivint Smart Habitation Arena) with more to come.
