UNLV has contacted Florida assistant Carlin Hartman about its head coaching position, according to a source.
He is not the only candidate at this point but the interest is mutual.

Winning is the No. 1 item on the blueprint, but UNLV’s next basketball coach must also:
🤝🏻 Work with boosters to build NIL funds
🎒 Retain local recruiting footprint
🦈 Embrace past eras
💺 Pack the Mack again
🆚 Schedule with at-large résumé in mind

We are about 15 minutes away from the women’s NCAA bracket reveal on ESPN.
UNLV is 25-7 and currently right on the bubble, projected to be one of the first four teams out. Regular-season finale loss at Wyoming (No. 80 NET ranking) is looming large.

Some potential names to consider as UNLV searches for its fourth head coach in 10 years, including:
🌲 A former UNLV assistant from a complicated coaching tree
🏆 A proven MWC winning machine
⛹🏻♀️ A glass-ceiling breaker
📋 A 2x NBA Coach of the Year

Kevin Kruger fired after four years.
Higher winning percentage than his two predecessors, reeled in some impressive recruits and swept SDSU, but UNLV always seemed to add up to less than the sum of its parts.
Biggest issue: Never truly settled on an identity/style of play.
