Just one day after BYU's first-round loss in the NIT to Stanford, it was announced that assistant Heath Schroyer has been hired as the head coach at McNeese State, leaving a vacancy in the BYU coaching staff.

Schroyer leaves BYU after just one season, helping the team to a 24-11 record and NIT appearance.
His defensive mindset gave BYU a new identity this season, and his outspoken coaching syle could be heard throughout the Marriott Center during close games.
Schroyer was an assistant at BYU under Steve Cleveland in the early 2000's, and prior to returning last year, was an assistant at NC State and UNLV.
He has worked as head coach at three other Division I programs — Portland State, Wyoming and Tennessee-Martin.
No announcement has been made by BYU yet on his departure or a new assistant hiring.
