BYU Basketball Head Coach Kevin Young Suspends Key Players Mihailo Boskovic and Elijah Crawford for Ten Games
Brigham Young University (BYU) men’s basketball head coach Kevin Young has announced the suspension of two key players, Mihailo Boskovic and Elijah Crawford, for ten games each due to violations of team rules. The suspension marks a significant blow to the Cougars’ roster as they prepare for the upcoming stretch of their season.
Mihailo Boskovic, a highly-regarded forward, has been one of the team’s standout players, contributing both offensively and defensively. Boskovic’s versatility on the court had made him a key part of BYU’s game plan, and his absence will create a notable gap in the Cougars’ rotation.
Elijah Crawford, a sophomore guard, has also been a vital contributor to the squad, known for his speed, scoring ability, and perimeter defense. His suspension comes as a disappointment for both the coaching staff and the team’s fans, especially given the promising trajectory of his collegiate career.
Coach Kevin Young, in his statement regarding the suspensions, emphasized that the decision was made in line with maintaining the program’s standards and expectations. “We hold all our players to high standards, both on and off the court,” Young stated. “These actions are necessary to ensure that we continue to build a disciplined and accountable team culture.”
The suspensions will affect the Cougars’ depth and strategic flexibility as they approach a challenging series of games in their conference schedule. It remains unclear what specific team rules were violated, but Young’s decision has already sparked discussion among fans and analysts alike.
Both Boskovic and Crawford are expected to return after serving their suspensions, though their absence for the first part of the season will likely have an impact on BYU’s performance as they navigate their matchups in the coming weeks.
