LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – UNLV Director of Athletics Erick Harper announced today that he will make a leadership change in the men’s basketball program. Kevin Kruger will no longer serve as head coach after four seasons in the position.“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Coach Kruger for his hard work, commitment, and dedication over the past four years as head coach of the Runnin’ Rebels. While there have been notable achievements during his tenure, there have also been challenges. We have significant aspirations for our men’s basketball program, both within the Mountain West and on a national level, with the goal of competing in the NCAA Tournament. Our expectation is to contend for and win championships. After evaluating the program as a whole, I believe a change is necessary to achieve these goals.”A national search for a new head coach for the UNLV men’s basketball program has already commenced. Erick Harper will not be available for media inquiries until the announcement of the new coach.
