PROVO — Sources familiar with the BYU basketball head coaching job search have confirmed that Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Mark Madsen has interviewed for the vacant position.
Madsen received permission from the Lakers organization to sit down with BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe and senior associate athletic director Brian Santiago, who oversees the basketball program. According to Deseret News sources, the meeting took place in Los Angeles last weekend.
BYU officials are seeking a replacement for Dave Rose, who announced his retirement last week in Provo after a successful 14-year run as head coach of the program.
