UNLV has found yet another person to coach the men’s basketball team.
The university dumped loyal and dedicated Dave Rice at midseason, and on Sunday night the Review-Journal reported Arkansas-Little Rock coach Chris Beard had agreed in principle to take the helm of the Runnin’ Rebels.
He’s not a household name, but Beard shows great promise after years as an assistant coach at Texas Tech under Bob Knight and a series of head coaching stops that resemble a minor-league milk run.
