PROVO — Tom Holmoe, Brigham Young University director of athletics, announced Monday that men’s head basketball coach Dave Rose has agreed to a new five-year contract. Rose’s new deal will keep him in Provo through the 2019-2020 basketball season.

“I’m excited about the future of BYU basketball,” Rose said. “Tom Holmoe, Brian Santiago and the university administration have provided great support and I look forward to the things we can accomplish together over the next several years. We have great student-athletes and coaches at BYU who are committed to the success of our program.”

Rose was hired as head coach at BYU in 2005. Since then, he’s accumulated a record of 250-86, which is the highest winning percentage in BYU history.

The Cougars have won 20-plus games and reached the postseason in each of the last nine seasons. That includes seven trips to the NCAA tournament, as well as two trips to the NIT. Overall, the Cougar basketball program has enjoyed 11 25-win seasons. Of those 11 seasons, Rose has been the head coach in six of them.

“I appreciate all that Dave has accomplished over the past decade as head coach of our men’s basketball program. He is an incredible leader and one of the best coaches in the country,” said Holmoe. “Dave does things the right way, on and off the court. We are excited about the future of the basketball program.”
