Josh Pastner Agrees To Become Unlv's Coach, Ap Sources Say

Former Georgia Tech and Memphis coach Josh Pastner has agreed to take over UNLV's program, two people with knowledge of the hiring process told The Associated Press on Monday night.

The two people spoke to AP on condition of anonymity because no announcement has been made. One of the people labeled it a "done deal."

Pastner takes over Kevin Kruger, who was fired March 15 after going 76-55 over four seasons and failing to reach the NCAA Tournament.

The Rebels, once one of college basketball most dominant programs that won the national championship in 1990, has fallen on hard times. They have not made the NCAA Tournament since 2013 and have not advanced to at least the Sweet 16 since 2007.

Pastner, 47, will be tasked trying to get the program back to that level.
