Kevin Young Exudes Confidence As He Looks To Elevate The BYU Basketball Program
Listen now
Description
The BYU Cougars formally introduced Kevin Young as the new head coach of the BYU men's basketball program Wednesday night inside the Marriott Center on the campus of Brigham Young University (BYU) and Young, associate head coach of the Phoenix Suns, showed promise and poise in his first public comments as Kentucky Wildcats coach Mark Pope's replacement. Jake Hatch had a chance alongside Patrick Kinahan and Keving Reynolds to talk with Coach Young about what initially got his interest in the BYU basketball job, where he thinks he can elevate BYU in the Big 12 Conference, how he plans to adapt to recruiting in the college sphere and what his ultimate goals are as he embarks on this new venture with BYU athletics. Finally, the show wrapped up with some thoughts on the NCAA Division I Council codifying the era of unlimited transfers in college football and college basketball along with new name, image and likeness (NIL) guidelines that will allow universities to bring NIL in-house as they will be able to help athletes with deals and connect them with third-party companies and sponsors.
