Gary Parrish is reporting that Nevada has zeroed in on a Kentucky assistant as its next coach. This individual succeeded at UTEP but fell down at Auburn. Sure seems the coach hiring process isn't much more than a crapshoot ';cause who really knows what the succeeding years will bring?

The next address for Rodney Tention?
With Bill Grier being let go at San Diego, where does Assistant Coach Rodney Tention head next? He certainly has strong Bay Area ties as well as a rep in SoCal. Will SJSU consider?

Wonderful Chris Murray tribute to David Carter
Chris Murray has a column up about the legacy of David Carter and the opening is a must read:
"Wolf Pack basketball coach David Carter was fired this week after 16 seasons with the program, including the last six as the team's head coach. To some, his legacy will be that of ending the unprecedented success Nevada started in the early 2000s and extended nearly a decade. To me, his legacy is this: Carter is one of the finest human beings I've ever met, which is rare in an occupation rife with egomaniacs. Carter treated everybody the same. He never changed who he was when he became a head coach. He never treated people poorly. Who Carter was as a person will stick with me far longer than his win-loss record, which, for the record, was 98-97 overall with one WAC championship, two NIT appearances and four losing seasons in six seasons as Nevada's coach..."
That's the most important measure of any human being.
