I remember years ago, when BYU really was "unknown", how much of a thrill it was when they won the NIT, and sometimes beat "better" teams. I'd like to see them "miss" the NCAA tournament and play in the NIT, where they would match up better with other teams.
Because of the voluntary rules and "codes" BYU athletes live by (they don't get special treatment as other schools give their athletes), their priorities are different. Most are married, for example; in 1977, I knew an excellent athlete who quit football because he realized it was preventing him from giving fully to his son wife. I thought he was crazy at the time, but now, I admire what he did!
The Trib beat writer said coach Rose worked Miles hard at being more of an offensive player. I wonder if that was true. I think Miles can be a much better offensive weapon. If coach Rose doesnt think so, then they should try to sign a JC big man. Not sure how good of a player is still available but BYU definitely needs the center position to be more of an offensive threat. If not, passing into the center does you no good. People still hang out and guard the perimeter.
