This week, Dave and Blaine welcome Lee Cummard in studio. Lee holds a unique place in BYU sports history. Not only was he a 6-foot-7 star player on the men’s basketball team and two-time first team All Mountain West Conference, and the 2008 Co-Mountain West Conference Player of the Year—but he’s also a major player in the BYU women’s basketball program as Assistant Coach.

Dave and Blaine discuss some of the following topics with Lee:

What are you most looking forward to hearing from Big 12 Football Media Days?
What are your expectations for the fall for Cougar football?
Roster reconstruction: lots of new faces and some very good returning ones, including Lauren Gustin and Nani Falatea. How important are those two for BYU’s debut season in the Big 12?
Which of the newcomers are you most intrigued about? Amari Whiting, Kailey Woolsten, Jana Sallman (6-3), Ali’a Matavao, Ashala Moseberry (JC).
What has impressed you the most about Amber Whiting in her 13 months of recruiting?
European trip, Aug. 14-24, (Trent Whiting played ten seasons in Italy). What are the goals for this trip with so many new faces?
What has it been like preparing for competition in the Big 12?
Let’s talk about the glory years of 2005-2009. What was it like to be a big man on campus?
The numbers support the glory. As we sit in July of 2023, this is where you sit among the all-time greats at BYU.
No. 3 in consecutive games played (131) (Charles Abouo – 141)
No. 16 in scoring (1,569)
No. 11 in 3-point baskets (153)
No. 4 in free throw percentage (.842)
No. 11 in assists (372)
No. 13 in steals (13)
Won 74% of your games (97-34)
You also won my favorite award – The Dale R. McCann Spirit of Sport Award.
Biggest basket?
Most fun as a team?
Most underrated teammate?
After seven seasons playing overseas, you started your coaching career with the BYU men in 2016 before moving to the women’s program in 2019. What was that transition like and are you tempted to move back to the men’s side?
