Guys that win a big game become the next wet dream for UNLV hoops.He is Radioactive.
He can coach. He won at everywhere he is gone. Plus he can recruit at a high level. NOW its not cheating. LOL.Guys that win a big game become the next wet dream for UNLV hoops.
Honestly, who cares. At this point, we aren't the morality police program and can't afford to just brush aside guys because their personality might not be "nice guy".. if they win, I'd take them in a heartbeat. Sure would be nice to watch hoops again without wondering if I could do a better job coaching...He is Radioactive.
We should have had that attitude 20 years ago to avoid where we are now …. And if it didn’t work, we wouldn’t be in a worse place than we are now anyway.Honestly, who cares.

And so many of us are afraid some irrelevant and quasi- fictional NCAA hatred will come down on us for trying to be "not safe"... I mean it's better to be mediocre to bad for decades as a safe team than to enjoy winning programs and their benefits right?We should have had that attitude 20 years ago to avoid where we are now ….

There is nothing “Rebel” or trailblazing or unique about UNLV anymore. We became safe and nice and not quite as hated. Just be the non trouble making mediocre good boy … so Rebellious …. Our identity sucks.
UNLV could have gone after Sampson, but we’re afraid … could have gone after other people too, but were afraid. It’s the polar opposite of being a Rebel. We are the Compliantin’ Rebs.Houston went after Kelvin Sampson after being down for 20+ years and hit a home run.
We should do the same and go after Will Wade.
Perception rules …. Sickening.And so many of us are afraid some irrelevant and quasi- fictional NCAA hatred will come down on us for trying to be "not safe"... I mean it's better to be mediocre to bad for decades as a safe team than to enjoy winning programs and their benefits right?
Will Wade would kick ass here.UNLV could have gone after Sampson, but we’re afraid … could have gone after other people too, but were afraid. It’s the polar opposite of being a Rebel. We are the Compliantin’ Rebs.
Details I found:He was supposed to be suspended for the first 10 games at McNeese State. Did this happen or did they appeal?
It will changeUNLV could have gone after Sampson, but we’re afraid … could have gone after other people too, but were afraid. It’s the polar opposite of being a Rebel. We are the Compliantin’ Rebs.
No one at the NCAA cares a rats ass about UNLV. We've self administered enough of a death penalty to ourselves than anything a "stained" coach could do...I'm fearful that past events will make us unable to hire a coach with ANY stain on his record - and not nearly the Wade stain. I think the administration still wets their collective pants before they hear the second "A" in NCAA.
I makes no difference what the NCAA thinks, it's what our administrators think and fear. Fear locks people into inaction.No one at the NCAA cares a rats ass about UNLV. We've self administered enough of a death penalty to ourselves than anything a "stained" coach could do...
Yeah, but we'd have had 1-2 good years to correct all the bad that has happened and getting to a positive trajectory quickly is exactly what we need. 2 years, 2 tournament trips, next guy up has a much better program to come into...He was getting $ 2.5 mil at LSU. Even if he came here and was successful, he'd be gone in a flash.
I like this as long as we sign them to a big contract something like five years $ 15 mil.. That way we can get a big buyout when he leaves.Yeah, but we'd have had 1-2 good years to correct all the bad that has happened and getting to a positive trajectory quickly is exactly what we need. 2 years, 2 tournament trips, next guy up has a much better program to come into...
UNLV basketball is where UNLV football was in terms of attractiveness as a final destination for a coach. But in spite of the high potential for UNLV basketball, I think it’s always been much lower as an attractive final destination than people think. We are “lucky” Tark was so tarnished. I still think he would have stayed, but let’s face it, he never had a blue blood calling with a very supportive school and ultra powerful boosters …. If they had, who knows?Yeah, but we'd have had 1-2 good years to correct all the bad that has happened and getting to a positive trajectory quickly is exactly what we need. 2 years, 2 tournament trips, next guy up has a much better program to come into...
Yeah, I mean we're not going to build a Gonzaga. Even SDSU got lucky in that Dutch stuck around with Fisher long enough to inherit a "Powerhouse" and they got lucky he wasn't enticed enough to go to Minnesota when they came calling... it's just not the name of the game anymore, even at P5 Schools... Beard went to his "home" and bolted at the first bigger offer from another program... Shaka went to Marquette. Even Alford, should he have a good year in Reno isnt long for there...UNLV basketball is where UNLV football was in terms of attractiveness as a final destination for a coach.

But we are a pit stop for anybody that has success in either sport, imo. It remains theory since we’ve only have one that bolted (Kruger) and that was with only modest success. The rest had been canned or “quit” because of illnesses which is a dignified firing.
Alford would love Vegas … dude hates Reno.Yeah, I mean we're not going to build a Gonzaga.

Haha I don't know if I could stomach that. If he won big here I guess I'd have no choice. Winning solves everything. On second thought hell yeah I could stomach it. Beats being irrelevant because where we're at right now sucks so much ass.Alford would love Vegas … dude hates Reno.
Huh? Otz bolted and has had good success so far.UNLV basketball is where UNLV football was in terms of attractiveness as a final destination for a coach.

Yeah, forgot about that. He did use as a stepping stone. Somehow, someway, he was a 500 coach here but got a bump to a better job.Huh? Otz bolted and has had good success so far.
Some SEC team will hire him UNLV won’t be on his radar.
i just dont like the dude. Seems like a prick. Not very likeable. Even thou i think we would take a big step in the right direction i still dont want him.Alford would love Vegas … dude hates Reno.
I don’t think his own mother likes him.i just dont like the dude. Seems like a prick. Not very likeable. Even thou i think we would take a big step in the right direction i still dont want him.
Hurley would get booed at every damn game.I don’t think his own mother likes him.
Seriously, nobody anywhere has liked him, whether he wins or loses.
I don’t care as long as we win, but two coaches I wouldn’t want here are Hurley and Alford, for obvious reasons beyond capability or personality.
As he should …Hurley would get booed at every damn game.
