Any Hoops News…

No hoop news, but I'm guessing Babacar mbengue will be the last roster spot filled. Of course I was wrong on my first guess with Jazz Gardner and that was kind of me hoping it was him. Do you have any thoughts on who it might be?
I was hoping it would be Jazz too but Babacar would be a nice get!
Interesting. Maybe a reclass? Or maybe some sub par grades that he’s handling with summer school?
Or just wait until July and go about your lives
Is Doug Gottlieb the closest Rebel Non-Rebel to walk this planet?
Played at OK State, graduated and preaches the UNLV gospel ever since. Even when he shouldn't have been.

He wanted this job so badly and lobbied behind the scenes for it.
Haha. I remember that. https://www.mwcconnection.com/2016/1/14/10766734/doug-gottlieb-unlv-head-coach
I agree but have you read these boards recently? It’s as if no one has any kind attention span or patience anymore.
Honestly I would have taken him over the clowns that were brought in over the years.
Also think Mike and Ryan Miller would have been killer.
Doug Gottlieb has interest in UNLV job
Doug Gottlieb made his case for being the next head coach at UNLV, and I hope UNLV Athletic Director Tina Kunzer-Murphy was listening.

Doug would have been an interesting guy at an interesting time for us as a HC at UNLV!
I like Doug as an analyst for the most part. I think he knows the game well.
But he would have been even less qualified than KK. Which doesn't mean that he couldn't get it done, just like with Kevin.
Say what you want about the previous 2 coaches, but at least they took teams to the dance as head coaches
He’d be the least qualified coach in UNLV history. It was a non-starter, wasn’t going to happen, thankfully. We’ve had high impact formers that are not qualified but more qualified than Doug.
You have to coach somewhere and get some experience.
He knew some people that could make some sort of behind the scenes push to see if it gained any traction. It didn’t. Thankfully.
That doesn’t mean he can’t coach or he couldn’t have had success, I have no idea. But I do believe you have to prove something somewhere. That’s what smaller schools are for (as head). That’s what assistant coach positions are for. You don’t just walk in and say “I was a decent college player and my father coached AAU” and grab a job like UNLV.
As an analyst, he’s pretty good. But Greg is really good. And he’s a homegrown, he’s a legend here, played in the NBA … and guess what? Even he would be a difficult push.
I love it when he calls our games - he is one dude i would love to just talk hoops with
He have never been a coach anywhere. At least the Millers been on the sidelines somewhere
UNLV"s PG position continues to be cursed
