New BYU AD reveals top priority for next year and beyond.
I just think that everybody knows there’s been a lot out there with him being such a successful NBA coach and the Phoenix Suns making the change with their head coaching job. And it is obvious that they’re going to be interested in talking to Kevin Young,” Santiago said.There was a lot Young gave up in Phoenix. He was the highest-paid assistant in the NBA, but still kept a good relationship with players in the league.
“I’m hoping that Kevin Young sees everything that’s happening here, and for all of these student athletes that we’ve brought to BYU, that this is the right place for him and his family,” Santiago said. “So that we can move forward with confidence, and everybody knows we’re ready to go.”Young led the Cougars to the Sweet 16 appearance last season. The expectations are higher now after BYU pulled in the nation’s top recruit AJ Dybantsa and paired him with Robert Wright III and Kennard Davis Jr. Young came to Provo from Phoenix last year and built an NBA-style program.
