Brigham Young University (BYU) has announced a long-term contract extension for head men’s basketball coach Kevin Young, following a standout debut season that saw the Cougars reach the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2011 . While specific terms of the extension have not been disclosed, the agreement is designed to retain Young in Provo for the foreseeable future.
In the 2024–25 season, Young led BYU to a 26–10 record, marking the program’s most successful campaign since 2016 . His NBA background and emphasis on player development have been instrumental in attracting top-tier talent, including the nation’s No. 1 recruit, A.J. Dybantsa, and securing a recruiting class ranked No. 13 nationally by ESPN .
Young’s commitment to building an NBA pipeline at BYU aligns with the university’s enhanced focus on competitiveness in the Big 12 Conference. His leadership has not only revitalized the program’s performance on the court but also strengthened its position in national recruiting and player development.
This contract extension underscores BYU’s confidence in Young’s vision and the direction of the men’s basketball program as it continues to ascend in collegiate basketball prominence.
