Dave Rose has done it. Win No. 300. He’s become the second head coach in BYU basketball history to reach the milestone, joining Stan Watts (371-254).
Granted, it didn’t really happen in the fashion most Cougar fans would’ve wanted, a win is still a win. I’ll take a 73-62 win over a loss – especially to Portland.
While it does feel like BYU basketball has underachieved in recent memory, there’s no denying Rose’s accomplishment. He is the 25th fastest college basketball coach to reach 300 wins and he turned around a flailing BYU basketball program that went 9-21 in 2004-05.
