Brigham Young Cougars head men's basketball coach Dave Rose yells out to his players as BYU Cougars and San Diego Toreros play in WCC tournament action at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, March 9, 2019.
PROVO — During his 14-year tenure as BYU’s head basketball coach, there were times when Dave Rose expressed his desire to take the Cougars to a place they’ve never been before — the Final Four.
Rose tasted that experience as a player at the University of Houston in 1983. Going deep into the NCAA Tournament was always a motivating factor for Rose and his staff.
