What about Quincy Lewis?
The current interim basketball coach is a candidate to replace his retiring boss Dave Rose at BYU, and, like others, he has not been a Division I head coach. But might it be disrespectful to not give him more credit as a prospect when many Cougar faithful are clamoring for a new, shiny, exciting change?
Perhaps.
Lewis is a veteran coach who has had legendary success at the high school level. Whatever failing or criticism BYU basketball has undergone the past few seasons should not be pinned on Lewis, according to friends like former Orem High coach Golden Holt, who coached star Lone Peak players TJ Haws, Eric Mika and Nick Emery on an AAU team for years before they won a national title at Lone Peak.
