Utah Jazz assistant Alex Jensen interviews for BYU coaching job, but UVU’s Mark Pope remains LDS school’s top target to replace Dave Rose

Most observers believe that because BYU has listed April 9 on its employment openings board and LinkedIn page as the date it will stop accepting applications for a head men’s basketball coach, it will not make an announcement before then, per school employment policy.

Jensen, a former University of Utah standout who coached under recent Hall of Fame inductee Rick Majerus at Saint Louis before moving on to the NBA and its developmental league, is considered a viable candidate for the BYU job because he is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the faith that owns and operates BYU.
