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

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
