SALT LAKE CITY — For more than 35 years, Dave Rose did what he felt called to do: coach basketball.
His career all started at Millard High School, where he took an open head coaching position.
"I decided I wanted to be a head coach as soon as possible and find out if I even liked it," Rose said.
He loved it.
Rose went on to have a very successful career at BYU, where he established himself as one of the best coaches in program history. His legacy will also be in the Utah Sports Hall of Fame. Find out more about his recent induction and an update on his continuing battle with cancer.
