UNLV is expected to hire Arkansas-Little Rock's Chris Beard as its next head coach, sources told ESPN.
Beard met with UNLV officials over the weekend and is on the verge of signing a five-year deal.
"Very close," one source said. "Not quite done."
UNLV also interviewed New Mexico State's Marvin Menzies this weekend after a public pursuit of Cincinnati head coach Mick Cronin. Cronin went to Las Vegas to discuss the position, but returned to Cincinnati without a deal in place. He announced last Friday that he was remaining with the Bearcats.
