Weeks 8-9: Is BYU basketball broken?

Shut Up and Jimmer — BYU Basketball Podcast

Is the BYU basketball program broken? And if so, can it be fixed? Those are the overarching questions that Vanquish The Foe's Steve Pierce and Robby McCombs wrestle with this week on the pod.

After watching the Cougars get run off the court by San Diego State and Mississippi State in back-to-back weeks, we step back and look at the big picture that extends beyond this team’s recent run of poor play: What is wrong with the program at its core? How did things get this bad? And what, if anything, can be done (in the short and long terms) to fix the underlying root causes?

We’re not holding back. This is a no-holds-barred conversation. We go deep on problems with coaching, culture, player development, philosophy, recruiting and other problems facing the hoops program — while also looking ahead to discuss how and when things could improve.
