Kruger Era Comes to an End, DJ Thomas Enters Portal, Coaching Search Begins
So much has happened in the last 24 hours that it is difficult to wrap my head around all of it; however, in this episode, I do my best. I begin by recapping the events that led us to where we are today. The MWC tournament ended for the Rebels by falling to Utah State in the quarterfinals, 58-70. Then on Saturday, March 15th, Kevin Kruger was fired as the head coach of UNLV men's basketball. I talk about my favorite memories during Kevin's tenure in terms of winning games as well as how much I think of him as a person. Then I talk about the 2023-2024 season, which is arguably the most "what could have been" season in UNLV MBB history. I then proceed to discuss DJ Thomas and his unfortunate departure from the program. Lastly, I talk about some possible candidates for the UNLV MBB head coaching vacancy, and I give my thoughts on who I would like to see get the job.
