Chris Beard is torn about whether to stay as UNLV’s basketball coach or take the same position at Texas Tech, sources close to the situation said Friday morning.

Beard’s decision could come at any moment, and the hope is he would have some sort of announcement by noon.

He met with Texas Tech officials on Thursday night after they flew into Henderson Executive Airport. UNLV athletic director Tina Kunzer-Murphy later issued a statement that a decision would come Friday.

If Beard leaves, the Rebels could turn to New Mexico State’s Marvin Menzies, the other finalist when Beard agreed March 27 to take the job.
