The hectic search for the next coach of the UNLV Rebels men's basketball team appears to have come to an end Sunday, as Chris Beard has agreed in principle to become the program's next head coach, according to Mark Anderson of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
ESPN.com's Jeff Goodman reported it's a five-year deal.
Beard was the head coach of the Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans this year, his first as a Division I head coach. He led the Trojans to a 30-5 record and a spot in the NCAA tournament, where they defeated the Purdue Boilermakers as a No.
