NMpackalum Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Why isn't Rahe from Weber St not a candidate? Maybe not flashy enough for Vegas but all he does is win. Why not Justin Hutson if you go the assistant route? He knows the problems of the program and got out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westfan Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 If nevada southern does end up looking for another basketball HC and that looks like it may be announced today. Why not Dan Monson, he looks like a better fit at Vegas, I have never heard his name mentioned and he's in my opinion a good coach. Plus he is coaching where Tark coached at Long Beach State before moving to nevada southern, maybe it's time to retrace that route. Marvin Menzies may be a good coach, but doesn't look like he has the ability to sell out T&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just_chris Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 So I was thinking about this and it has me wondering, is there any conceivable way that TKM and Jessup could force him to stay? I know there is no precedent for it but can they force him to honor his contract? I get that it probably is bad business to force a guy who wants to be someplace else to stay but TKM strikes me as that type of person who would be vindictive if she could.

Man I hope that doesn't happen. I don't want a coach who doesn't want to be here. There is a reason salesmen are walked out the door the day they try to give notice....

NMSU won 6 games the year he was hired, and he got them to the NCAA tournament in his second season. He was fired by the Kings a few games into 2009, and they still have yet to even come within five wins of his 38-win season in 2008. The Kings are simply a coaching graveyard. Musselman was also fired by the Kings, and he's worked out well so far for Nevada. He has struggled at CSUN, but he'll turn that around this year. Lavin would be a good hire, but I think Theus would be best long-term. I'm not a UNLV fan, or biased in anyway. I just think he would be their best option. He would definitely add to the rivalry... I have seen a few Lavin coached games on TV but only 1 in person. I was in NYC on business and had the opportunity to go to MSG against G-town. His team passed the ball around the perimeter the entire game looking to pass it to one of the big men. Generally they were unable to do so and ended up taking 20 to 25 foot shots and missing a great deal of them. His defense was labored but not awful. SJU just did not look good. Lavin did beat Duke once in MSG I believe, I remember seeing it on TV but whilst his record is not horrible it has been nothing outstanding except for his years at UCLA. Excepting the last year of course. If you want a coach with major school experience you might try him but his days of being good seem to be well behind him. Besides after the string of coach/hire/failures at UNLV why do you think he is chomping at the bit for UNLV? I don't know his age off hand but he must be near 60. Right now you are in a position where you must hire anyone who accepts. As to Theus a losing season in the NBA and very little in CBB are not much in the way of recommendations. I sounds as if UNLV fans are becoming desperate. Apparently you wanted Pitino, Dixon, Cronin (all of them good and proven coaches) and then settled for Beard who had a record of job hopping every year or two. He continued his record in Vegas except increased his jumps to 5 days. UNLV deserves and I hope can get better than Theus and Lavin. IF THEUS AND LAVIN WERE SO GOOD THEY WOULD BE COACHING AT MAJOR SCHOOLS NOW (Northridge is not major or even mid major.) As we both know they are not.

As far as I know there is nothing they can do to force him to honor his contract. Once TKM gave Tech permission to talk to Beard it's basically over at that point. Technically he will be "honoring" his contract by paying the $1 mil buyout. But they can't do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebfan85 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Seeing reports that UNLV could turn back to Menzies makes me queasy. Now more than ever UNLV needs to get this hire right. Next year was already going to be difficult recruiting-wise. In my view, the following class is more crucial. If the search lasts another 1-2 weeks and gives me heartburn, that's the least of UNLV's worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
