Former UNLV head basketball coach Dave Rice will join the Nevada staff for the 2016-17 season.
Rice, who was fired midway through last season, fills the hole vacated by Doug Stewart's move to Tulane. Rice will join a super staff that includes head coach Eric Musselman as well as the recently hired Yann Hufnagel and Ronald Dupree on a completely remade unit.
The hire isn't expected to be official until Wednesday but Rice's move has started to trend on Twitter. Here's a look at what they're saying about Rice's move to Nevada.
