Any rumblings about the new AHC??
- Thread starter Rebel_Luv
- Start date
Any delay is just having the contract approved. It could be later today or it could be 2 weeks from now with how this part of the process works. (This is sarcasm, but you know what I mean)
It’s UNLV involved, it will take 2 more months.
This is per the LVRJ
UNLV is finalizing the hiring of former Texas Tech assistant basketball coach Barret Peery for the same position, sources tell the Review-Journal.
The agreement, one source said, should be done this week and would complete the men’s basketball 2022-23 coaching staff.
Peery, 51, was the associate head coach last year for the Red Raiders last year under Mark Adams after four years as Portland State’s head coach. Peery accumulated a 63-57 head coaching record with the Vikings from 2017 to 2021 and was also a head coach at the junior college level (181-29 record at College of Southern Idaho and Indiana Hills Community College).
Peery began his coaching career as an assistant at Southern Utah, and was an assistant at Snow College, Utah Valley and Portland State. Other stops include Utah, Arizona State and Santa Clara, where he was the associate head coach in 2016-17.
Former assistants Carlin Hartman and Tim Buckley accepted assistant coaching positions earlier this month at Florida and South Carolina, respectively. But UNLV coach Kevin Kruger hired John Cooper last week and Peery fills the other vacancy alongside Brandon Chappell, who is returning for his second season on the staff.
The Rebels finished 18-14 last year, Kruger’s first at the helm, and have added transfers Luis Rodriguez (Ole Miss), Elijah Parquet (Colorado), Elijah Harkless (Oklahoma) and Jackie Johnson (Duquesne).
Key departures include Bryce Hamilton (NBA draft), Donovan Williams (NBA draft) and Royce Hamm (exhuasted eligibility). But Williams is maintaining his eligibility and could return for his senior year.

Maybe when he gets here, he can help close Udeze, Cottrell and Diongue!
Good resume, texas tech is strong and p5. Seems odd timing, if tt wanted him gone it would have been done at the end of the season so it would not seem that. Tt in big 12 would seem to have more upward mobility for him. Kk at least is not scared to have experienced staff as some young coaches would be.
He replaces Hartman. Very solid hire for a P5 school, let alone UNLV.
Agreed, if you’re the smartest guy in the room, swallow your ego and find a more advanced room to keep learning! I’ll hand it to Kevin for subjugating the ego! I love this hire and Cooper is a step up from Buckley as well.
I knew Barret a little when he was at CSI. Used to talk a little at the gym, and would bump into him and his wife a sometimes while out at dinner. Really good guy and excellent coach.
I like the hire but strange choice to leave a P5 AHC Role for UNLV after one year. Wonder what the story is there….
I would think wants to get back to his ties in the west coast.
With success out west he could get another head coaching opportunity in the future.
Just my opinion.

Possibly and maybe Adams and he just didn’t mesh so with it only being one year that is possible. Just a strange move in some ways.
