BYU head coach Dave Rose and his staff exit the floor as BYU falls to the University of Texas at Arlington in NIT action at the Marriott Center in Provo Utah on Wednesday, March 15, 2017.

PROVO — Dave Rose got the message.

This past season, even with the excuse of putting the youngest team of his career on the court, fell short with an NIT home-court thud. There were season-ending injuries and a bundle of inexplicable losses and head-scratching performances. The latter is fodder for change.

I believe when Rose and his staff returned from the NCAA Final Four, on his own and with some prompting from his administration, Rose declared the status quo unacceptable.
