In a statement released by the school, BYU head basketball coach Dave Rose said of Fueger: "Cody brings great experience to our program. He's got a terrific track record in the business and has earned the trust of several great coaches."
"He's been given tremendous responsibility everywhere he's been and has had great success. We're excited to have him on our staff."
