Kevin Young wants to turn BYU into a breeding ground for NBA talent.Young, who was introduced as the Cougars' new head basketball coach on Wednesday night, said
New BYU men's basketball coach Kevin Young speaks during his introduction at the BYU Marriott Center on Wednesday, April 17, 2024. Young, who was introduced as the Cougars ' new head basketball coach on Wednesday night, said he plans to use his NBA experience and player development skills to turn Provo into an NBA pipeline for the players while building a consistently successful program in the Big 12.
BYU has a coach who has the experience to back up the NBA development talk. He spent four seasons as an assistant coach with the Philadelphia 76ers before joining the Suns in 2020. After one season on the Phoenix coaching staff, Young was promoted to associate head coach in 2021. "What I've been doing, I've been doing for a long time," Young said. "To shift gears and have to learn a whole new system has really got me charged up."He has interviewed for head coaching jobs with the Suns, the 76ers, Utah Jazz, Houston Rockets, Toronto Raptors, Milwaukee Bucks, Washington Wizards, Charlotte Hornets and Brooklyn Nets in recent seasons. Shedding the assistant coach label seemed inevitable.
Young will continue to coach with the Suns during the NBA Playoffs before joining BYU in a full-time capacity. For now, he will split his time between Phoenix and Provo. His immediate priorities with the Cougars are retaining current BYU players, contacting recruits and assembling a coaching staff.
