UNLV fired head basketball coach Dave Rice last weekend, midway through his fifth season on the job, after the Rebels missed out on the postseason the past two years then stumbled to a 9-7 start this season.

Now the search for Rice's replacement is underway and the school may have a surprise big-name candidate in mind.According to the Las Vegas Journal Review, Louisville head coach Rick Pitino has reportedly expressed interest in the opening.

 

 

From the report:

"First and foremost, a source with connections to Pitino insists he is interested in the job, 15 years after his brief flirtation with Las Vegas. He went to Louisville in March 2001 and has not looked back — until now.

"The time might be right for Pitino, 63, to make a move. He has survived well-publicized scandals and fought to escape the shadow of Kentucky coach John Calipari. Pitino coached the Cardinals to an NCAA championship in 2013, adding to his national title with the Wildcats in 1996, so what more is left for him to achieve?

"He could be the king of Vegas and revive a program that has enjoyed few high times since late coach Jerry Tarkanian was forced out in 1992. If Pitino is looking for a challenge, and also in need of a city with basketball bloodlines and bright lights, this is it."

Pitino took over at Louisville in 2001 and over the past 15 seasons, he's led the Cardinals to three Final Four appearances and one national title. In June, he inked a 10-year extension with the school that runs through the 2025-26 season.

His extension is reportedly worth upwards of $5 million annually, a figure that dwarfs the $700,000 salary Rice was paid as the Rebels head coach. But for Pitino, UNLV may be willing to open up the checkbook, per the report.

"If Pitino is interested, the money would be there," a source close to UNLV said Friday.

Not only that, they're legal. If he could convince the players to pay for them themselves, he'd be golden. Maybe there is some substance to this article after all. :sssh:
