Who is Getting the UNLV Coaching Job?
1-liner, College Basketball April 4th. 2011, 2:30pmUNLV: The Rebels lost coach Lon Kruger to Oklahoma on Friday – did the Sooners overpay him? – and the two obvious names that popped up were former NBA player Reggie Theus and BYU assistant coach Dave Rice. Both played at UNLV. Rice’s selling point – his brother is the head coach at Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas, a powerhouse that has two Top 25 recruits in the class of 2012. Could Rice keep one or both of them local? Bobby Knight supposedly has expressed interest about the job, but my first inclination is that he’s looking for more money at ESPN. I hear UNLV is interested in Georgia coach Mark Fox, but that seems like a longshot. He dominated at Nevada, you may recall. [Review Journal]

did the Sooners overpay him? –
They couldn’t pay enough for him to go to that shithole of a school. Kruger is just a good Christian.

I could’ve sworn Reggie Theus already coached at UNLV. Why do I think that? Did his name get tossed around a lot when they hired Lon Krguer maybe?

I’ll take it.

Coached at New Mexico St and did really well all things considered. He was on Pitino’s staff at Louisville for a while too. I think he’d be a great hire.

I’ve heard Theus is a lock to go back to the Deering Tornadoes.

Beat me to it.

You can win at Oklahoma, and they’re OK if you want to cheat to win, too. Kruger was smart, that’s a big time job again. He moves around a lot, though.

It’s between Theus, Dick Butkus or Bob Golic.

I’m sure AA could set some mean screens.

He looks like he gnaws on moles.

Can’t imagine Fox leaving UGA for UNLV, but anything is possible.
