@TBTimes_Bulls: Looks like UNLV's Dave Rice has been offered @USFMBB gig. Didn't see that one. http://t.co/3xCMOoOxIm

Twitter. One step from tabloid.

Not liking all these leaks, especially if he turns us down.   He's from the Tarkanian coaching tree. I like this part of it anyway.

Feel the same way... Lets get 20 wins a season for 3 or 4 years then we can start worrying about how deep we go in the tourney

@TBTimes_Bulls: And for those wondering, Rice earned an MBA from UNLV and was a Rhodes Scholar candidate (at least per Wikipedia). #USF

Don't really know anything about this guy, but he appears to have done well at UNLV.

By MATT YOUMANS

LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

Already facing an intriguing offseason, UNLV basketball coach Dave Rice is in the middle of more drama. Rice is considering accepting the coaching position at South Florida, which has offered a five-year contract for $1.2 million per year.

According to sources, the offer was extended within the past 24 hours. Rice is returning from an interview in Tampa, Fla., and could not be reached for comment.

It is expected he will meet with UNLV athletic director Tina Kunzer-Murphy tonight.

Sources indicated Rice was contacted by South Florida officials soon after the school rescinded an offer to Manhattan’s Steve Masiello, whose deal fell through after he failed a background check.

Rice’s contract at UNLV has three years remaining at $700,000 per year. A proposed two-year extension for Rice has not been forwarded to the Board of Regents.

The Rebels finished the season 20-13 and missed the NCAA Tournament for the first time in Rice’s three years.

If UNLV cannot offer a competitive contract to South Florida’s offer, Rice could depart, leaving Kunzer-Murphy to search for his replacement.

Former UCLA coach Ben Howland, Virginia Commonwealth coach Shaka Smart and Cal State Northridge coach Reggie Theus, a former Rebels star, are considered the top candidates.

Odds he turns us down and gets an extension at UNLV, leaving us to move onto our 3rd public choice for coach?

 

-125 seems fair.

Love the hire. Worried that the word of an offer is out. He can now turn it down, which is what we want to avoid, publicly.

He's 70-13 (29-19) in 3 seasons at UNLV, his only HC job so far.

Agree with him using us to leverage an extension at UNLV. At least this leak didn't come from USF, it seems.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22

    “This is not a broken football program by any means. It just needs to be united, to get everybody on the same page, share that same vision, and really to have that standard - best is the standard.”
