Does the timing really matter whether it ends up being Jensen or not? Let’s say it’s not Jensen and ends up being Miller because Jensen declines. Wouldn’t we want Miller to have the same opportunity and time to sell himself and his program to the players we have on the roster that we wish to keep?

I would say KD is priority #1 this coming off season. It’s clear that he offers the most upside and is a very talented player.

Thankfully, he’s getting more time now that Smith is gone – and if they hire Jensen for HC I can’t see how KD could possibly leave with such incredible excitement coming in like that. Especially, as it’s been said again…[Read more]

LOL…so I’m guessing the person that gave me the downvote on this post is either a BYU fan or just doesn’t like me.

Reading the comments here and considering, I’ll say that I’d 100% rather coach in the pros than in college. It’s sooooo much easier. With recruiting, transfer portal, NIL, boosters, and more, the college game is much more work and stressful. If be hesitant to leave too.

Smith fired on February 24. March 8th is last regular season game at TDS. March 11th – 15th is Big12 Tournament. Then I guess possibly the NIT which begins March 18th. I’m still trying to understand the timing. I’ve always thought it was because they pretty much had their guy locked up. I sure hope so.

For most of us, this opportunity seems like it should be a no brainer for Jensen – returning to his alma mater and being the top guy, one that fans and donors are yearning for.

I’m not saying he is reluctant to take the job, but the longer the process drags out, the more it’s possible that he isn’t sure about it.

Thanks for posting, so if you have some kind of inside connections and this is true, that means Utah just decided to fire Smith with no one hired yet. Unless this is just smoke and mirrors and them talk with Jensen is just a formality. Fingers crossed.

If he is smart, he will. That Mavs team is going nowhere. The NBA head coaching job doesn’t seem like it’s out there for him for whatever reason. Is he content being an assistant?

Mason Madsen is the other beneficiary of the coaching change.

In the 2 games since the change KD has averaged 16.5 ppg and 10.5 rpg. MM has averaged 9.5 ppg.

You and I had called out Smith here for grossly underutilizing these 2, primarily because they led the team in BPM or productivity, yet were in bottom half of team minutes.

I’m glad Afernee posted this. I read somewhere online that the UofU president and top donors are taking the lead on the hiring of the next MBB coach and that Harlan is not involved. That post was a few days ago and I can’t find it now. Makes me wonder the validity of that post if, or just clickbait?! Either way, Haran is on a really HOT…[Read more]

I’m sure there’s people on here that know more than me but I’ve heard that he’s not from a few people.

That mean he’s going to get canned too? Weird.

Other coaches are still coaching

I was about to mention that. Both BYU and Utah shot over 80 percent from the FT line. Another thing that strikes me every time I watch the women play is how much more solid they are in the fundamentals of basketball. Theirs is a more disciplined, though certainly much less athletic, than the men.

Also, hope this only the beginning of a revitalized and resurgent WBB, MBB and Football programs to elevate their games and make Utah a force in the Big12 next year. Go UTES!
