Keep these names in mind as possible successor to Dave Rice at UNLV

Who's next?

Now that Dave Rice has been fired as UNLV men's basketball coach, who will be the next coach? Keep your eye on these names:

Steve Lavin, ESPN analyst: The former UCLA and St. John's coach is working as a broadcaster on prime-time games. The buzz around Las Vegas is that he already has been campaigning among boosters to be the next coach. He compiled a 226-133 record in 12 seasons, including eight NCAA Tournament trips that yielded one Elite Eight and four Sweet Sixteens.

Marvin Menzies, New Mexico State coach: The former UNLV assistant (2004-05) has been coaching in Las Cruces for nine seasons, taking the Aggies to the NCAA Tournament five times.
