UNLV athletic director Tina Kunzer-Murphy was answering questions Sunday evening about the firing (with a capital F) of Dave Rice when the future was mentioned, specifically if the school will commence a national search to identify a new full-time basketball coach.
"I would say that I think so," Kunzer-Murphy said. "At the end of the year, if I would have a guess, I would guess we would go out and have a national search."
Let's hope it's a lot more than a guess.
Let's hope someone at UNLV finally decides it's time for the Rebels to at least act like a big-time program, even if it doesn't pay like one.
