CMU alumnus Todd Simon was named the UNLV men’s basketball team’s interim head coach, Sunday, after Head Coach Dave Rice and the program mutually decided to make a coaching change.
Simon graduated CMU in 2003 with a double-major in sport studies and management information systems. The Runnin’ Rebels have lost five of their last six games after starting the season 8-2.
Simon, 35, will remain interim head coach until the end of the season, when UNLV’s athletics administration will “conduct a thorough review of the program,” Director of Athletics Tina Kunzer-Murphy said in a press release, Sunday.
