Billikens_Fanatic Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Andy Katz (ESPN) reports that Lon Kruger will be named new coach of UNLV. Should be interesting to see what he does with the team... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLURadioBoy Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 That's surprising to me. I figured with young Spoonhour leading them to the conference championship and ohhh sooo close to the "Big Dance", they would give him a shot to lead this team next season. I guess they decided to go after the bigger name. Hopefully Spoonhour can get his shot with another school sometime in the near future.

Schasz Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 It's been fairly public knowledge for a couple weeks that UNLV was going to bring in Kruger...no real surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLURadioBoy Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Well that's true, but I wonder if the situation would have been the same if UNLV went to the "Big Dance?" That would have made for a sticky situation, but I guess Brad went through the same thing went he led Wisconsin to the NCAA Tourney and they gave Bo Ryan the job instead because they were going for the bigger name.
