I can confirm UNLV representatives met this evening and a great friend of mine (The same friend who informed me exactly what was happening with UNLV and Rice that I reported for you before you got the info from the department and media) informed me earlier of the great UNLV news that they might have a coach real soon.
Over the weekend big UNLV partners and supporters met with UNLV officials and again Monday to finalize the decision.
I have been told that UNLV could make the offer tomorrow or wednesday however I was informed that there has been an issue with getting certain people to meetings to wrap it up. They usually take 3-4 days like the case of the Football hire. There are many people away and that is tying up this deal.
I believe from talking to some people that there could still be some negotiating as I believe 2 or 3 of the representatives from UNLV are talking to the candidate again. Not sure what its about but possibly going over the details of the contract.
The decision was made after Pitino informed UNLV he wasn't not leaving UL so they went to coach #2. Been told by another source that the coach was very high on their list and was recommended by 3 people who happens to be a close friend of the coach.
I will be meeting with some friends that are involved tomorrow afternoon. I will update as news comes.
