HOUSTON -- Legendary BYU head coach LaVell Edwards received the Paul "Bear" Bryant Lifetime Achievement Award Thursday at an awards ceremony in Houston.

Edwards coached the Cougars for 29 years and is currently No. 7 in FBS history for career wins with 257. In 20 of those 29 seasons, the Cougars claimed conference championships. He has been inducted into both the BYU and College Hall of Fame.

Live from Legends Grille on BYU campus, head coach Dave Rose started his show talking about how his team has improved this season already, what games are up next for BYU and how tough the West Coast Conference is. The Cougars play at Gonzaga and at Portland this week.

"The key to staying relevant in the WCC is playing great basketball every single night - and that's tough. We have to work hard in this tough conference. One thing I love about our guys is that they play to win every time they step on the floor."

Live from the KSL 5 TV studios, head coach Dave Rose started his show with a full recap of last week's games. BYU hosted Saint Mary's in a 70-69 buzzer-beater loss and also San Diego last Saturday in a 74-57 victory. The Cougars are now 5-1 in West Coast Conference action.

Against the Gaels, Rose highlighted Tyler Haws's performance. He finished with 23 points to lead the team. 

A year ago four members of BYU’s current baseball team were serving missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  They are Jacob Hannemann (Arkansas), Andy Isom (Brazil), Cody Shepherd (Brazil) and Derek Speigner  (Salt Lake City).

Live from Legends Grille on BYU campus, head coach Dave Rose began his Coach's Show by previewing the other West Coast Conference teams, their upcoming opponents and how BYU feels about being 4-0 in league play so far. 

"Our team has been really good at being able to focus one week at a time and be consistent for 40 minutes. This week's games are now getting familiar - we've played these teams before - so we have to work hard."

In the KSL 5 TV studios, BYU head coach Dave Rose kicked off his weekly Coach’s Show with a recap of the team’s second-straight two-win week this season and their 4-0 start in West Coast Conference play.

“It was a great week. I thought our guys were really prepared – it felt similar to the week before, as far as the teams we played and it was nice we were able to come away with two wins.”
