The school is located in Provo, Utah and has an undergraduate enrollment of just under 27,000 students. Dave Rose completed his fifth year as BYU's coach during the 2009-10 season. This is the first head-coaching job for Rose, who had a career record of 124-38 entering the 2010 NCAA Tournament. He was an assistant at BYU for eight years prior to being named head coach. Rose was a player on the 1983 Phi Slama Jama Houston team that lost to North Carolina State in the national championship game. Rose was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in June of 2009. However, with treatment, he was able to continue coaching, and the cancer is now in remission.http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700014841/BYU-basketball- Coach-Dave-Rose-is-now-enjoying-the-process.html

The Cougars are making their 25th NCAA Tournament appearance in 2010 and fourth in as many years. BYU has reached the "Elite Eight" of the NCAA Tournament three times, the recent appearance coming in 1981, when the Cougars were led by future NBA player Danny Ainge. BYU has advanced the "Sweet 16" six times, although the Cougars have not made it that far since the 1981 team upset Notre Dame in the second round. That year, Ainge won the Wooden Award as the nation's most outstanding player. The Cougars also have won two National Invitation Tournament titles. Since Rose took over the program in 2005, the Cougars have lost only three games at home.http://www.byucougars.com/basketball_m/
