Today, newly hired head coach Chris Beard, left UNLV for Texas Tech. The Rebels have 4 prior roster members left. What's next?
Within six months, UNLV Basketball has gone from one of the most promising programs in the country boasting freshmen talent like Stephen Zimmerman and promising returning sophomores like Patrick McCaw, to a program in complete disarray. Announced this afternoon, Chris Beard, hired just two weeks ago, decided to return to Texas Tech as their new head coach and leave the Runnin' Rebels.
Beard's hire was already somewhat controversial because of a big push by UNLV's fan base to bring in assistant Stacey Augmon as the head coach.
