@Peter Gozintite @mcnabb7542 @unlvmariners


What are your thoughts of Menzies being fired?
Without having someone already picked and ready to go, it feels just as fucked as when they fired Rice. If they dont already have their sights on someone, and that person also knows they are up for the job, it is a stupid move.

This was all about not having butts in the seats. They have had some of the worst attendance for games ever. It wasnt Marvin's fault, but he took the hit.

His first season shouldnt even be counted against him, as he was a late hire, cuz UNLV shit the bed, and had 2 players when he started. 2.

I dont like the move, and wish they would have given him another year. Even if it was only to try and get a replacement lined up before firing him.

I keep hearing all these rebel fans screaming names that will never come here. For a number of reasons, but mostly money. UNLV doesnt have the money to pay these 3 to 4 mill a year guys. They pay 300 to 400k, and there are assistants in power 5 conferences that make that. Thad Matta, Rick Pitino who I fucking hate anyway, and others of that caliber arent coming here.

Thanks for the info. I was disappointed they fired Menzies. I hope they can get some type of decent coach. But I'm w/ you, I fucking hate Pitino.

Hopefully you guys find someone good, the MWC isn't the same without a strong UNLV
