BYU hires Suns assistant Kevin Young to replace Mark Pope, who left to coach Kentucky | Sports

PROVO, Utah (AP) — BYU hired Phoenix Suns associate head coach Kevin Young to replace Mark Pope, who left to coach Kentucky, the school’s athletic director announced Tuesday. Young will continue to coach with the Suns during the NBA playoffs before joining BYU, but he will work on retaining current players, contacting recruits and assembling a coaching staff during the playoffs. “Kevin is someone we have had our eye on for a while,” BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe said in a press release. “He has risen to the top of NBA assistant coaching ranks. He has been a lead candidate for NBA head coaching jobs and has been instrumental in developing top-level NBA talent. Kevin will bring a new perspective, with an extensive NBA background to our program. He is a phenomenal fit at BYU.” This is Young’s first head coaching job at the NCAA Division I level. The Salt Lake City native spent eight seasons coaching in the NBA G-League, with head coaching stints at the Utah Flash, Iowa Energy and Delaware 87ers. Young spent four seasons as an assistant coach with the Philadelphia 76ers before joining the Suns in 2020. He was promoted to associate head coach in

Cooper Legas joins McCae Hillstead in entering transfer portal | Sports

LOGAN — Where once Utah State had four quarterbacks with Division I starting experience, the Aggies are down to just two after Cooper Legas chose to enter the transfer portal Wednesday. He joins soon-to-be-former teammate McCae Hillstead who announced his portal entry a day before the official April 16 opening of the spring window. Legas spent five seasons in Logan, redshirting in 2019 and not appearing in any games in 2020. He made his career debut in 2021 against New Mexico, but later in the LA Bowl against Oregon State he famously threw a 62-yard touchdown to Deven Thompkins on his first career pass attempt. He went on to complete 11 of 20 passes for 171 yards and two touchdowns in the eventual Aggie victory that capped the program’s third 11-win season in its history. Over the next two seasons, Legas’ time on the field was inconsistent, due to both injuries and being benched in favor of his backups. In 2022 he took over for Logan Bonner mid-season, making his first career start against BYU, but would miss most of the team’s matchups with Colorado State, Wyoming and Memphis due to different injuries. The 2023 season would prove even more
