UNLV fans and basketball fans in general took to Facebook, Twitter and the ReviewJournal.com comment boards to voice their opinions after Dave Rice was selected over Reggie Theus to coach the Rebels. Some of their thoughts are below.
The way the laurels are falling at his feet, you would almost think new UNLV men’s basketball coach Dave Rice had built a winning legacy as a head coach.

As Dave Rice prepares to return to his alma mater, he might not be the only former Rebel coming home to coach basketball.

On the eve of UNLV’s version of “The Decision,” Reggie Theus coached an NBA game in Denver and Dave Rice watched TV with his family at their home in Provo, Utah.
