Kevin Young, the new head coach of BYU basketball, has been actively transitioning into his role, despite also wrapping up his responsibilities with the Suns. His first interaction with the BYU team, including guard Trevin Knell, occurred just before his introductory press conference at the Marriott Center. Young, who started his head coaching career at 23 in the Irish Superleague, has rehired Chris Burgess, a former candidate for the BYU head coaching job. Burgess, noted for his coaching and recruiting skills, joins Brandon Dunson on Young's staff.

News via Holy War land: Utah asst. Chris Burgess is leaving his alma mater to return to BYU, sources tell @CBSSports. Burgess was a candidate for the BYU job before Kevin Young got it—so it's a huge staff add for Young in Year 1. Burgess worked under Mark Pope @ BYU from 2019-22.

BYU's Kevin Young has never been afraid of doing the dirty work. He got his first head job at 23 in the Irish Superleague. One of his duties? Making breakfast for his roommates—because they were also his starters. By @kevinreynolds30: https://t.co/uKXcnQAidt https://t.co/S5fSB09Wz3
