Less than two weeks in, Young \u2014 who is still with the Phoenix Suns as associate head coach through the remainder of the team s time in the playoffs \u2014 has retained most of the players from Mark Pope s roster that finished fifth in the Cougars first season in the Big 12.
The Phoenix Suns associate head coach is being introduced as the next men s basketball coach at BYU in a formal press conference Wednesday night in Provo.
The 6-foot-5 sophomore from Riverton by way of Wasatch Academy has been a key cog in the Cougars rotation that shrank as low as seven players Tuesday against Iowa State.
Trevin Knell had 17 points, five rebounds and two assists, and four players scored in double figures as the 14th-ranked Cougars overwhelmed the Cowboys 94-68.
Knell told BYUtv that the surgery was to repair a torn rotator cuff and partially torn tendon that started in the first game of last year and eventually got worse, despite his best efforts.
