PROVO — Freshman Gavin Baxter might be the future of BYU basketball, but for weeks he didn’t see the court. Coach Dave Rose kept him on the end of the bench, which eventually became the source of humor around the Baxter household.
“We were telling him to sell popcorn or go run a couple of miles (during games) — who would know?” says Angela, his mother. Imitating a male voice, she continues, “'Where’s Baxter?!’ ‘He’s selling concessions, coach!’”
Times have changed since then. Baxter has suddenly found his way onto the court.
