Season Outlook

RUNNIN' REBELS HAVE NEW LOOK FOR 2009-10 SEASONBy Bryan Haines, UNLV Media Relations Dept.

Any program that loses five seniors who won nearly 100 games during their college careers certainly will enter the following season in a period of transition, and that is the case for the UNLV men’s basketball team heading into the 2009-10 campaign. UNLV head coach Lon Kruger’s roster includes nine players that have not played a game for the Runnin’ Rebels and just two starters return from last year’s postseason squad. But while such circumstances may signal a rebuilding year for most teams across the country, Kruger, who is entering his sixth season at the helm of the Runnin’ Rebels, expects no drop off. The level the Runnin’ Rebels have reached of late includes three consecutive trips to the post-season and an average of 24 wins per season, the most successful three-year stretch since UNLV won its national championship in 1990 and went to back-to-back Final Fours. The recent success has also returned the Thomas & Mack Center to one of the most intimidating venues in college basketball, helping boost the Runnin’ Rebels to a 52-7 mark at home over that span. Fans have packed the Mack and last season UNLV led the West and ranked 22nd overall in the country in home attendance, giving the program a vocal “sixth man” in the stands. “This season is a transition year in terms of losing five seniors from a year ago,” Kruger says. “There are a lot of new faces on the roster this year. It is a time of excitement and enthusiasm, but there is also the uncertainty with regard to which players are going to fit into which roles and who is going to assume what duties. We are very intrigued by all the possibilities.” The lineup combinations are seemingly limit-less for the veteran coach as despite the inexperi-ence on the roster, five of the players that will make their Scarlet and Gray debut bring with them

Division-I experience. Those newcomers fill out a roster that also features six returning lettermen from a squad that went 21-11 last season and ended its year losing on the road to Kentucky in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament. Back from that team are junior guard Tre’Von Willis and sophomore guard Oscar Bellfield, who between them started 44 games, while Willis was the second-leading scorer last year, aver-aging 11.4 points per game in his first season with UNLV. Junior guard Kendall Wallace and post players sophomore Brice Massamba, senior Darris Santee and junior Matt Shaw are the other returning lettermen, with Shaw getting back on the court after he was forced to redshirt last season because of knee surgery. Eligible to play for the first time this season are four Division-I transfers, three of which sat out last year but practiced every day with the Runnin’ Rebels, learning Kruger’s system and getting acclimated to the program. Junior guard Derrick Jasper (Kentucky), sophomore guard/forward Chace Stanback (UCLA) and senior guard Steve Jones (Arizona State) all relocated to the desert last year. Stanback and Jones worked out every day with the team while Jasper focused on his rehab after knee surgery. The other newcomers who could see playing time this season include a trio of freshmen in guard Justin Hawkins, forward Carlos Lopez and guard Anthony Marshall, red-shirt sophomore guard Todd Hanni, and transfer Tyler Norman, a junior guard who spent the 2006-07 season at Iowa State. The final new face on the roster is Quintrell Thomas, a transfer from Kansas who must sit out the 2009-10 season due to NCAA transfer rules. He will be eligible as a sophomore for UNLV in 2010-11. It is a group that is focused on a return to March Madness, with a majority of the team either having logged minutes on the court or watching from the bench as last year’s squad failed in its attempt to make a third straight trip to the NCAA Tournament. “Each team that misses out on playing in the NCAA Tournament the previous season is typically a little more motivated during the offseason to make sure it gets back to the tournament,” Kruger says. “We have many versatile players that can play multiple positions on the floor and I think this will be a group that is very hungry, given that we didn’t finish last year like we wanted to. It has been a motivating factor during the offseason work and I know they are excited about getting the year started and taking care of responsibilities in the year ahead.” The versatility in the lineup and the athletic ability on the roster should allow Kruger and his coaching staff to play an up-tempo brand of basketball on both ends of the floor, pushing and attacking on offense and wreaking havoc on defense. Several players can play multiple positions on the floor, creating matchup problems for opposing teams, especially on the offensive end. One such area that Kruger believes will be

improved over last season’s team will be the low-post presence, giving the Runnin’ Rebels a more balanced look after being mostly a perimeter-oriented team the past couple of years. “Some of our areas of focus this year will be pushing the ball offensively, being aggressive, attacking on the defensive end and doing a better job in those areas,” Kruger says. “We have to do a better job rebounding the basketball and I think combined with that, our big guys will give us a better presence in the low post offensively. We are going to be a more physical team and will be a more athletic group as a whole. We need to make sure that translates into execution on both ends of the floor.” RETURNING PLAYERS

Coming into a program as a true freshman and logging meaningful minutes at the point guard position is not an easy thing to do, but that is exactly what Bellfield did last season, starting 21 games and playing in a total of 31. He averaged 6.2 points per game and led the team with 108 assists, while displaying uncanny cool under pres-sure despite being a rookie. That included hitting a leaning lay-up with under 20 seconds left to help UNLV upset Big East-power Louisville on the road on New Year’s Eve.

It was one of the biggest road wins in recent UNLV history, and it provided a glimpse of the potential and play-making ability that Bellfield, a native of Los Angeles, Calif., possesses with three more years of eligibility remaining.

“Oscar is coming off a very good freshman season,” Kruger says. “He looks to be a little more consistent in all areas and he has really worked hard in the offseason. He will play both guard posi-tions for us and also may need to become more of a scoring threat, which I think he is capable of doing.”

Also in the backcourt is Willis, a combo-guard

Season Outlook

that proved adept at both scoring and distributing the ball to his teammates during his first season on the court for the Runnin’ Rebels. A former transfer from Memphis who was one of the top prep scorers in California history, Willis not only was second on the team in scoring, but was also second in assists with 105. A hard-nosed player, he finished second in rebounding and also made 35 steals while playing through the second half of the season with a sore shoulder and shins.

A preseason All-Mountain West Conference selection, Willis’ versatility should be an asset this season, as his slashing and scoring abilities will provide Kruger options on the perimeter and matchup problems for opponents.

“Tre’Von is a guy that is aggressive and physical as a perimeter player,” Kruger says. “He needs to keep slashing and it is important for him to score for us.”

Back for his third season is Wallace, who is one of the team’s top long-distance threats from behind the arc. He made 37 3-pointers while averaging 4.6 points per game in 32 appearances last year. He made one start and his best perfor-mance came against Air Force, when he came off the bench to hit five 3-pointers on his way to a career-high 15 points, displaying his long-range prowess.

“Kendall had a good sophomore season,” says Kruger. “He needs to continue to shoot the ball well for us. He has shot it well in practice and we expect him to continue to do that throughout the year.”

Shaw returns to the court this year, and the versatile 6-foot-8 forward is completely healthy and ready to contribute meaningful minutes again after watching from the sidelines last season. As a sophomore in 2007-08, Shaw played in all 35 games and started seven, averaging 6.9 points and four rebounds per game while also stretch-ing defenses by hitting 24 3-pointers, which was fourth on the team.

“We are anxious to see Matt back healthy,” Kruger says. “His knee surgery and rehab went

well and I know he is hungry to get back in a role on the floor as opposed to just being supportive from the bench.”

Following an up-and-down junior season that saw Santee play in 30 games and make 21 starts, the former junior-college transfer looks to turn in a solid final campaign after adjusting to the Division-I level last year. Santee played well at times last year, including scoring 21 points and grabbing five boards in a road win at Fresno State, and he averaged 5.3 points and 2.6 rebounds per game overall.

“I think Darris will have a really good senior year,” Kruger says. “Last year as a junior, after coming in from junior college, he was a little tenta-tive at times and I think from a confidence and a production standpoint, he will improve greatly.”

While he will be returning for his second season on the court after having played in 27 games as a freshman, fans may have to take a second look when seeing Massamba for the first time this season. That’s because he lost nearly 35 pounds this offseason, slimming down his 6-foot-10 frame and giving him more agility in the low post. Last season the import from Sweden aver-aged two points and just over one rebound per game, numbers that should improve in his second season at UNLV.

“I am excited for Brice,” Kruger says. “He made tremendous progress in the offseason. He learned from his freshman season all that he has to do to get better, and has really worked to improve in every way. His weight is down and he is much more mobile and really looking forward to the year.”

NEWCOMERSOf the five transfers that make up a majority

of the newcomers, two of the more intriguing are Jasper and Stanback, as both figure to make a strong impact on the court in their first season with the Runnin’ Rebels.

A talented player who brings a new dimen-sion to the point-guard position with his 6-foot-6 frame, Jasper spent two seasons at Kentucky, including starting 27 games as a true freshman. Now a junior, he has two seasons of eligibility at UNLV. With his size and long arms, Jasper has the ability to cause chaos on the defensive end and also has the speed and agility to keep pace with opposing teams' point guards. He averaged 4.2 points and 5.5 rebounds per game as a sophomore in 2007-08 for the Wildcats despite having microfracture knee surgery before the season, which limited his leaping ability and explosiveness.

Sitting out last season after transferring allowed Jasper to rehab his knee and preseason reviews have been positive from the coaches as well as the UNLV athletic training and strength and conditioning staffs.

“Derrick took advantage of his redshirt sea-son in so far as taking time to thoroughly rehab his knee and that has been very good for him,” says Kruger. “Now the key is for him to stay healthy. He brings a lot of versatility to our team and will fill a

leadership role for us as he is very experienced having played a couple of seasons at Kentucky.”

Wowing his teammates almost every day in practice last season was Stanback, as the long, athletic 6-foot-8 forward displayed a great knack for scoring, while also rebounding and banging down low in the key on defense. After adding muscle to his slender frame over the summer, Stanback could play either the small or power forward spots this season, creating potential matchup problems for opposing defenses.

As a freshman in 2007-08, he played in 25 games for UCLA, and Stanback was part of a Bruin team that went to the Final Four. That expe-rience, as well as his overall ability, should make Stanback an instant contributor for the Runnin’ Rebels in his first season on the floor.

“Chace is a really good scorer, very active on both ends of the floor, and he is a strong rebounder,” Kruger says. “He will be a big factor for us from day one.”

Hawkins brings a sound all-around game with him from Taft High School in Woodland Hills, Calif., where he averaged 15 points, seven rebounds, six assists and three steals per game. He was named first team All-West Valley League for the fourth consecutive season last year and helped the Toreadors to a 27-5 overall record as a senior.

“Justin is a complete player,” Kruger says. “He is a very good defender and is fundamentally sound. He will play the wing position for us and he does a lot of good things on the floor.”

Lopez is one of two local recruits as he comes to UNLV after helping to lead Findlay College Prep at the Henderson International School in Henderson, which is coached by Mike Peck, win the ESPN RISE National High School Invitational. That prep school national champion-ship capped a strong senior year for Lopez, as the 6-foot-11 forward averaged nine points and five rebounds per game for the Pilots. A skilled big man with an array of low-post moves, his length also makes Lopez a deft shot blocker in the key on the defensive end of the court.

“Carlos is a long, rangy shot blocker,” Kruger says. “He has a great enthusiasm for getting bet-ter every day and will continue to add strength and weight on his frame. He will work to become an outstanding player for us.”

Marshall is the third freshman and second local prep star who will begin his career at UNLV this year. The four-star recruit put together an impressive career at Las Vegas’ Mojave High School while playing both guard positions. Rated as the No. 66 overall recruit in the nation last year by ESPN, Marshall’s complete game was on display as he poured in 25 points per game to go with six assists and five rebounds for the Rattlers. Marshall was named the 2009 Gatorade Nevada Player of the Year, the Sunset Region's Most Valuable Player, the Northwest League MVP and earned first team All-Sunset and first team all-state honors.

“Anthony is a very talented local player from Mojave and he has a very good base from

Coach Tony Hopkins’ program,” Kruger says. “He is a versatile player who can score from the perimeter and can slash to the bucket. He is a good defender and will play a big role for us right off the bat.”

Jones is one of two seniors on the squad and he is eligible to play this season after transfer-ring in from nearby Arizona State before the 2008-09 season. He will provide depth and leadership to the Runnin’ Rebels. Jones spent three seasons with the Sun Devils, playing in 34 career games, including making two starts, and is an intense competitor on the court.

“Steve is a fifth-year senior who brings a great intensity every day in practice,” Kruger says. “He will, without question, influence what happens on the floor with his intensity, his attitude and toughness. We are looking for Steve to play an important role for us.”

Norman is yet another transfer who starred at Faith Lutheran High School in Las Vegas before heading to Big 12 Conference member Iowa State, where he redshirted during the 2006-07 season. Norman then took two years off before walking on to this season’s Runnin’ Rebel team. During his prep career he was a three-year starter at point guard and helped lead Faith Lutheran to back-to-back Class-3A titles, averaging 14.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists as a senior.

“Tyler is a walk-on and a local product,” Kruger says. “He brings all the intangibles. He is a terrific worker and has a great attitude every day.”

Hanni is another walk-on who redshirted last year and will be looking for his first playing time as a Runnin’ Rebel after transferring from Wabash Valley College prior to last season. He averaged eight points and eight rebounds per game in his only season at Wabash. He originally is from Danville, Ind., and prepped at Danville High School, where he was an all-conference selection as a senior in 2006.

“Todd, coming off of a redshirt season, is a terrific worker every day in practice.” Kruger says.

He has a great attitude and brings all the intan-gibles to our program. He will help us every day, especially in his role during practice.”

The final newcomer on the roster is Thomas, who spent last season with the Jayhawks, appear-ing in 26 games and making one start for the perennial national power. A physical post player with a good-sized frame, Thomas was an all-state and all-county selection his senior season at Saint Patrick High School in Elizabeth, N.J. Thomas, who had shoulder surgery in July, will rehab his shoulder and will also be eligible to practice with the Runnin’ Rebels this season.

“Quintrell will take full advantage of his transfer (redshirt) season and will spend that time rehabbing his shoulder,” Kruger says. “He will also focus on improving every aspect of his game.”

THE SCHEDULEKruger and his staff have once again assem-

bled a challenging and balanced schedule. With several non-conference tests, both at home and on the road, and the Runnin’ Rebels could poten-tially play 11 teams that appeared in the postsea-son last year. Seven of UNLV’s non-conference tilts will take place in the Thomas & Mack Center, and the Rebels will travel to Hawaii for an eight-team tournament at the end of December before heading into their Mountain West Conference slate in January.

UNLV opens with five straight games at the TMC, beginning with Pittsburg State on Nov. 14, which is followed by in-state rival Nevada, Reno, on Nov. 18. The Runnin’ Rebels have won three-straight matchups with the Wolf Pack, including a 12-point UNLV victory the last time these two teams met in Las Vegas. The Runnin’ Rebels will then host Southern Illinois on Nov. 21 in the inau-gural Mountain West Conference-Missouri Valley Conference Challenge, and Holy Cross follows on Nov. 25. The final home game in that stretch is Nov. 28 against Louisville, a team that advanced to a second straight Elite Eight appearance in the NCAA Tournament last season. The Runnin’ Rebels took down the Cardinals on New Year’s Eve last year with a memorable 56-55 victory in Kentucky.

The Runnin’ Rebels will then hit the road for a pair of games, traveling to play Arizona on Dec. 2. UNLV defeated the Wildcats at home last year, 79-64, before Arizona went on to play in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16. After the trip to Tucson, UNLV will head to Santa Clara on Dec. 5. The Runnin’ Rebels then return to Las Vegas to play Kansas State across town at the Orleans Arena on Dec. 12 before traveling up I-15 to play Southern Utah on Dec. 15 in Cedar City, Utah. UNLV will wrap up its home non-conference schedule by hosting Weber State, a NIT participant last year, on Dec. 17, and then South Carolina-Upstate on Dec. 19.

UNLV will close out its non-conference slate by making a trip to Hawaii for the Diamond Head Classic, which gets underway on Dec. 22 and includes College of Charleston, Hawaii, Northeastern, Saint Mary’s, SMU, USC and

Western Michigan. The Runnin’ Rebels are matched up with SMU in the first round, and UNLV will also play on Dec. 23 and Dec. 25 before returning to the mainland. USC won the 2009 Pac-10 Tournament Championship to receive that league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, while Saint Mary’s played in the NIT to close out its year.

“The schedule is as tough as it has been during the last several years,” Kruger says. “It is a schedule that our players really look forward to playing and I think our fans look forward to as well. Most importantly, it will prepare us well for conference play.

“We have good road tests, good home con-tests and a really outstanding tournament experi-ence in Hawaii, so we have a good combination of all that you look for in a schedule.”

The new year will bring the start to MWC play, and the Rebels will be tested right away, traveling to three-time defending regular-season champion BYU on Jan. 6. UNLV will be looking to make it two in a row over the Cougars in Provo, Utah, as last season the Runnin’ Rebels came from behind to win 76-70 at the Marriott Center, snapping the Cougars’ 25-game home conference winning streak in the process.

UNLV then travels to New Mexico on Jan. 9 before opening its home league schedule with San Diego State on Jan. 13. That will be followed by a home matchup with last year’s MWC Tournament Champion Utah on Jan. 16. The Cougars and Utes both represented the MWC in the NCAA Tournament last year, while the Lobos and Aztecs were in the NIT with the Runnin’ Rebels. The final MWC team to be invited to postseason play last year was Wyoming, which made an appearance in the CBI.

“Our conference will once again be out-standing,” Kruger says. “Even though many teams lost senior scorers last year, there are a lot of good recruiting classes coming in. Additionally, there are quite a few outstanding players that sat out last year that are eligible this season. It should be a very interesting race from the beginning.”

Coaching Staff

Longtime collegiate and NBA basketball coach Lon Kruger enters his sixth season with the Runnin’ Rebels in 2009-10. In just five years, he has positioned the UNLV program as once again one of the most competitive programs in the West and resurrected the program on the national scene. While doing so, he has helped to re-energize the Las Vegas community around Runnin’ Rebel basketball.

In five seasons, he has compiled an overall record of 112-53 (.679). However, since the beginning of the 2006-07 campaign, Kruger has led his UNLV squad to a 78-26 mark (.750), two consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tournament in 2007 and 2008 (including wins each year), and a National Invitation Tournament bid this past year. In fact, the 21-win season in 2008-09 marks the first time UNLV has had three consecutive seasons with 20 or more wins since 1990-93.

Hired at UNLV on March 15, 2004, as the 10th full-time head coach in UNLV men’s basketball history, Kruger’s first two Runnin’ Rebel teams showed positive signs of progress under his leadership - progress that paid off over the next three seasons in Las Vegas.

In this third and fourth seasons at UNLV, Kruger led the Runnin’ Rebels to records of 30-7 and 27-8 respectively, making back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances and advancing to the Sweet 16 in 2007. The back-to-back Big Dance showings for UNLV marked the first time that the Runnin’ Rebels made repeat trips in consecutive years to the NCAA Tournament since 1990 and 1991.

Getting to the NCAA Tournament is one thing, but winning is another, and the Runnin’ Rebels did that by logging three wins over the two tournament appearances – two in 2007 with the Sweet 16 appearance and one in 2008, falling to eventual national champion Kansas in the second round.

Just prior to leading the squad to back-to-back Mountain West Conference Tournament championships in 2007-08, Kruger was named the MWC Coach of the Year along with the United States Basketball Writers Association’s District VIII Coach of the Year. The consecutive MWC Tournament titles for UNLV marked the first since 1990 and 1991 and was the first time in MWC history that a school repeated as the conference’s tournament champion.

During the 2008-09 season, UNLV began the season 17-4 (including an eight-game winning streak and a perfect 7-0 December) before slowing down the stretch and finishing with a 21-11 mark overall. Despite not advancing to the NCAA Tournament for a third consecutive season, the 2008-09 season brought UNLV fans some of the program’s biggest regular season moments in the past 15 years. The Runnin’ Rebels blew out Arizona at the Thomas & Mack Center in December,

stunned Louisville at Freedom Hall on New Year’s Eve on national television (56-55) and swept conference foe BYU during the regular season, including a dramatic come-from-behind victory in Provo, Utah, to snap the Cougars’ dominating win streak at home vs. MWC opponents. UNLV lost in the first round of the NIT at Kentucky after a comeback (the Rebels trailed by as many as 20 points) came up short late.

The 2008-09 season cemented Kruger’s growing place in history with the UNLV program. During the season, he moved into No. 2 all-time for wins by a UNLV head coach (trailing only the legendary Jerry Tarkanian). He also finished the season with 112 wins at UNLV, giving him more wins as a UNLV coach than at any of the other four college programs he has coached at. His 112 wins in his first five seasons with the Runnin’ Rebels surpassed the 104 wins he had in his six seasons at Florida.

Protecting UNLV’s home court at the Thomas & Mack Center is something Kruger stresses and his team has responded. Over the last three years, UNLV has recorded a 52-7 mark at home, which includes two streaks of 19-straight wins. The Runnin’ Rebels are also 31-2 in their last 33 games against MWC opponents at the TMC.

A major part of succeeding at home is the environment in the arena and this is important to Kruger and his staff as they continue building the program. Prior to the 2008-09 season, Kruger began to oversee the community outreach and marketing efforts of the basketball program at UNLV. The results were successful with the Runnin’ Rebels average home attendance growing to No. 22 in the nation, including being No. 1 on the West Coast. In fact, UNLV’s home attendance numbers for the 2008-09 campaign were the highest in a decade and the second-highest since Jerry Tarkanian was coaching the Runnin’ Rebels in 1991-92. UNLV drew nearly 15,000 fans per home game during Mountain West Conference play and sold out the famed Thomas & Mack Center in February 2009 vs. BYU (18,523 fans) for the program’s first home sellout since 1993.

Kruger, who was a finalist for the 2007-08 USBWA Henry Iba Award, which is presented to the national coach of the year, surprised many with his team’s 2007-08 performance and 27-8 overall record. Not only did UNLV lose four starters off its 2007 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 team, but also the top player off the bench, who was the 2006-07 MWC Defensive Player of the Year (Joel Anthony – currently with the NBA’s Miami Heat). The 2007-08 squad was also without 62 percent of the scoring, rebounding and minutes played from the previous year’s team. Kruger also worked his magic with just a 10-man roster and won with a lineup that averaged 6-feet, 4.5-inches tall and whose tallest starter was only 6-foot-7-inches.

Kruger, who earned his milestone 400th collegiate career win on Feb. 9, 2007, with a 68-51 victory over Colorado State at the Thomas & Mack Center, led UNLV to back-to-back seasons with at least 27 wins for the first time since

1989-90 and 1990-91. In addition, UNLV won 34 conference games from 2006-08 (10 in 2005-06, 12 in 2006-07 and 12 in 2007-08), which was the program’s highest three-year total since 1991-94.

Kruger’s third season at UNLV was the one that catapulted the program back onto the national stage. UNLV’s 2007 Sweet 16 appearance marked the program’s first since 1991, and the 2006-07 squad became only the fifth team in UNLV men’s basketball history to reach 30 wins in a season. The team was ranked in both major polls for the first time since 1993 and won the Mountain West Conference Tournament championship for the first time since 2000.

Finishing the season with UNLV’s best record since reaching the Final Four in 1991, the team was ranked 14th in the country in the final ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ Poll. All of this from a squad that was picked to finish fifth in the MWC by the media before the season began.

The 2007 NCAA Tournament marked UNLV’s first since 2000, but the program

had gone 15 years without a win in the Big Dance. That all changed when the Runnin’ Rebels, the seven-seed in the Midwest Region, marched past 10th-seeded Georgia Tech and second-seeded Wisconsin in Chicago.

In 2007, Kruger became just the second coach in school history to win an NCAA Tournament game and with his 10th career trip to the Big Dance overall as a head coach, he became just the fifth man in college basketball history to take four different schools to the NCAA Tournament. He is just the fourth coach in NCAA Tournament history to take three different programs to the Sweet 16 since the field was expanded to 64 teams and is one of just three coaches to win at least one game in the tournament with four different schools. Kruger has led 11 teams to the NCAA Tournament, has a 14-11 record in those games, and is 8-3 all-time in first-round games, including wins in each of the last five. With UNLV’s second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance in 2008, Kruger became just the second head man in college basketball history to lead at least four different schools to multiple NCAA appearances.

UNLV finished tied for sixth in the country in total wins in 2006-07 and became the first team in the history of the Mountain West Conference to reach 30 victories in a season. The team also defeated four ranked teams, which was the program’s most in a season since 16 years earlier. 2006-07 also marked a return of dominance by UNLV at home as it recorded a 19-1 record at the TMC, including wins in each of its last 17 games at home.

During MWC action in both 2007 and 2008, UNLV finished second in the standings with identical 12-4 league marks, and recorded two straight seasons with perfect home records (8-0) in conference play for the first time since the 1991-92 and 1992-93 seasons. Additionally, the 12 conference wins for UNLV were the most in a season by the Runnin’ Rebels in 14 years.

Kruger took over a program at UNLV in 2004 that had gone through a period of significant instability, with nine different head coaches in the previous 13 seasons. Over that span, the program made just two NCAA Tournament appearances, both first-round exits.

During his first two years in charge of the Runnin’ Rebel program, Kruger constructed a foundation for success and his teams demonstrated characteristics that Kruger-led squads have always shown: unselfishness, teamwork, toughness and a positive attitude geared toward continual improvement throughout the season. Those teams recorded overall marks of 17-14 and 17-13, respectively.

His 2004-05 team was invited to the National Invitation Tournament and advanced to the second round, while the 2005-06 squad won 10 MWC games, which equaled the UNLV record for most wins in MWC action to that point.

In July of 2007, he was honored by Las Vegas radio station ESPN 920 as its 2007 Sportsman of the Year.

Kruger has cemented his place in history as college basketball’s greatest change agent after he took UNLV back to the NCAA Tournament and its run to

the Sweet 16. Five times Kruger has taken over a college basketball program and five times – within at least

four years each time – his programs have reigned victorious. It is arguably the most-proven track record of raising programs by one coach.

A veteran of two-plus decades as a head coach on the collegiate and professional

levels, Kruger came to Las Vegas after a four-year stint in the NBA. Following 18 years as one of the nation’s most successful college coaches, Kruger spent three seasons (2000-03) as the head coach of the Atlanta Hawks and then part of the 2003-04 season as an assistant with the New York

Knicks. At the collegiate level,

Kruger has compiled an impressive 430-286 overall mark in 23 seasons as a head coach at Pan American (1982-86), Kansas State (1986-90), Florida (1990-96),

Illinois (1996-2000) and UNLV (2004-present). Entering the

2009-10 season, Kruger has 499 career wins as a head coach (430 at the college level and 69 in the NBA).

His ability to build programs is also evident in the fact that he has led all five of the schools he has coached to 20-win seasons. Kruger, 57, has guided his teams to the postseason on 15 different occasions, with 11 appearances in the NCAA Tournament and four in the NIT. He has compiled 10 20-plus victory seasons, was a two-time SEC Coach of the Year (1992 and 1994) and led his 1993-94 Florida squad to the NCAA Final Four.

At Illinois, Kruger led the Illini to three NCAA Tournament second-round appearances in his four seasons and compiled an 81-48 mark (.628). In his first season at Illinois, Kruger guided the Illini to a 22-10 overall record and a fourth-place finish in the Big Ten Conference after the team had recorded a ninth-place finish the previous year. In his second season, Kruger took a group of players that was picked to finish seventh in the Big Ten and led the Illini to the school’s first Big Ten Championship since 1984. That team posted a second-straight 20-win season with a 23-10 record.

Kruger’s third Illini team returned no starters and the Big Ten’s youngest and most inexperienced team faced the second-toughest schedule in the nation (Sagarin ratings). That team recorded five wins against ranked opponents and came within one game of the NCAA Tournament by falling to No. 2 Michigan State in the conference championship. Kruger’s last Illinois squad finished 22-10 and again made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

During his six-year stint at Florida, Kruger transformed the Gators from a program that was not a factor in the SEC race to a team that posted a single-season school-record 29 wins and went on to postseason play four times. The year before Kruger took over the program (1989-90), Florida finished 7-21 overall and 3-15 in the SEC. In six seasons in Gainesville, Kruger twice led the Gators to the NIT and twice to the NCAA Tournament. His crowning achievement came in 1994 when he directed UF to a 29-8 mark and a trip to the NCAA Final Four.

Before his time at Florida, Kruger coached at his alma mater. In four years at Kansas State, he led the Wildcats to a school-record four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and an 81-46 (.638) record. His 1988 Wildcat squad ranks as one of the school’s all-time best teams as it compiled a 25-9 mark, tying the school record for wins in a season and coming within one game of reaching the Final Four.

Early in his career Kruger established himself as one of the nation’s best young coaches. He began his head coaching career in South Texas at Pan American, where he guided a major turnaround in the program. Before Kruger arrived, Pan Am had won only five games (1982) and after a first-season seven-win year, Kruger’s squad posted double-digit wins in three straight seasons, including a 20-8 record in his final campaign (1985-86). Kruger also served as athletics director during his four years at Pan American.

Kruger’s coaching career began as a graduate assistant coach at Pittsburg State (1976-77) in Pittsburg, Kan. He then was a graduate assistant coach at Kansas State in 1977-78, before becoming an assistant coach for the Wildcats (1978-82). When Kruger returned to his alma mater in 1986 as the school’s basketball coach, the immediate success that followed was typical of that which took place when he played for the Wildcats. Kansas State was 61-22 (.735) with Kruger in uniform and combining his coaching marks at the school, Kruger was part of 142 wins, against 67 losses (.679) while part of the KSU program.

As a player, the native of Silver Lake, Kan., helped lead the Wildcats to back-to-back Big Eight Conference titles in 1972 and 1973. After being touted as the Big Eight’s Sophomore of the Year in 1972, he was honored as the league’s best player in 1973 and 1974. He ranks 14th on the school's career scoring list with 1,063 career points and has the fourth-best career free throw percentage (.826) in school history. As a senior, he averaged 17.6 points per game and is tied for 16th on the school’s career scoring average list with a 13.3 points per game average. His best single-game scoring total was 37 points vs. Colorado as a senior.

Kruger was selected to the all-time Big Eight Team (third team) and was named “Mr. Hustle” all-time in the Big Eight. An Academic All-American as a senior, he also earned All-Big Eight academic honors three times and was the first player to capture Kansas State’s coveted Porky Morgan Most Inspirational Player Award three times. On Feb. 8, 2006, Kruger was honored during a halftime ceremony at a Kansas State men’s basketball game by having his No. 12 jersey retired.

Kruger was selected by the Atlanta Hawks in the ninth round of the 1974 NBA Draft. He also starred on the baseball diamond for Kansas State and was drafted by the Houston Astros in 1970 and the St. Louis Cardinals in 1974. During his Wildcat baseball career he posted his best season in 1971 when he went 4-3 as a pitcher (3-1 in Big Eight games) and had an earned run average of 3.33. He struck out 38 and walked 14 in 46 innings. An all-around athlete, Kruger even got some football notice after graduating from KSU when the Dallas Cowboys invited him to their 1974 rookie camp as a quarterback.

A prep standout at Silver Lake High School, Kruger lettered all four years in football, basketball and baseball. As a senior, he averaged 23 points per game in leading his team to the state basketball tournament, passed for 2,079 yards and 23 touchdowns in nine football games and led the baseball team to the state tournament as a pitcher/infielder. In 2006, Kruger was honored by being inducted into the Topeka and Shawnee County Sports Hall of Fame as part of its inaugural class.

Now, Kruger spreads most of his athletic talents around golf courses, as he is an avid golfer with a five handicap. Born on Aug. 19, 1952, Kruger graduated from Kansas State in 1975 with a degree in business and earned his master’s degree in physical education from Pittsburg State in 1977.

He and his wife, Barbara, have two children: daughter Angie, who is a medical school graduate from the University of Florida and now works in Miami as an obstetrician, and son Kevin, who graduated from Arizona State University and played at UNLV for his senior season, starting at point guard in 2006-07 for his father's squad. Kevin played for the NBA Development League’s Utah Flash each of the last two years and played for the NBA’s Utah Jazz during its summer league. He is currently playing overseas in Italy. Angie was married to Mike Ciklin in the fall of 2008.

Kruger has been involved in a host of charities, especially the Coaches vs. Cancer program that is sponsored by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. Over the past two years, Kruger was instrumental in starting the Coaches vs. Cancer’s Las Vegas Classic, which raised over $300,000 in its first two years to benefit research, education and treatment programs for the Nevada Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society.

While at Florida, the Krugers were honored with consecutive Community Service Awards from the Gainesville Community Council on Alcohol & Drug Abuse, and in 1995 he was named the Gainesville (Fla.) Volunteer of the Year. From 1991-93, the couple served as co-chairpersons of Alachua County’s Red Ribbon Campaign, a week-long program aimed at increasing awareness and promoting a drug-free environment for the community.

During the Krugers’ stay in Atlanta, Barbara was also heavily involved in charity work, especially “My House,” a transitional home for children 1-3 years old.

Now in Las Vegas, she is on the board of directors for Safe Nest, a domestic violence shelter, is a member of the Las Vegas Paradise Sertoma Club, which provides educational scholarships for the deaf and she is also a sustaining member of the Junior League. Additionally, she is involved with PEO Sisterhood and the Krugers spend time helping the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth.

Coach Kruger is involved with many causes in Las Vegas and assists, among others, the NCI and the ACS, the Clark County School District, Southern Nevada Health District with childhood obesity, the City of Las Vegas recreation and youth sports, the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth, Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

In 2008, Kruger released his first book, The Xs & Os of Success: A Playbook for Leaders in Business & Life. The book, which highlights the parallels between coaching a sports team and leading others in non-sports settings, consists of 40, five-minute lessons conducive to leadership, life and teamwork. It uses sports as a way to tell the story and a way to make things tangible. All proceeds earned by Kruger from the book are being donated to the Clark County School District’s School-Community Partnership.

Greg Grensing is in his fifth season as assistant coach at UNLV. Grensing was hired at UNLV in May of 2005 after spending 11 seasons on the Creighton University men’s basketball coaching staff, including the 2004-05 season as the associate head coach. During his time at Creighton, Grensing worked for head coach Dana Altman, which was a partnership that dated back to 1986-87 when they started three seasons of work as assistant coaches under UNLV head coach Lon Kruger at Kansas State University. When Kruger left KSU, Grensing remained in Manhattan, Kan., as a member of Altman’s staff and was with him for 15 years at KSU and Creighton. Grensing has coached in a total of 13 NCAA Tournaments, six while at Creighton and two with the Runnin' Rebels. As the recruiting coordinator at Creighton, he brought in talented basketball players as well as talented students. The Bluejays played in the postseason in each of his last eight years (six NCAA Tournaments) there and had an Academic All-District selection in seven of those eight seasons. Two of his more notable recruits to Creighton are current NBA player Kyle Korver (Utah Jazz) and former NBA player Rodney Buford (New Jersey Nets). The 52-year-old native of Council Grove, Kan., graduated from Southwest Texas State University in 1979 with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and began his coaching career with a two-year stint as a graduate assistant at his alma mater. In 1981, after receiving his master’s degree in physical education from Southwest Texas State, Grensing spent one

season as an assistant at Laredo (Texas) Junior College, then two years as an assistant at Idaho State University from 1982-84. Following the 1983-84 season,

Grensing joined Kruger’s staff at Pan American University in Edinburg, Texas. After serving two years at Pan American, Kruger was named head coach at Kansas State and hired Grensing as an assistant for the Wildcats. Grensing started his collegiate playing career as a guard at Independence (Kan.) Community College, helping the Pirates to a 62-6 record and the 1977 national title as the team’s sixth man.

FIREWORKS The Runnin’ Rebels have

arguably the best pregame show in all of college bas-ketball.

Originally, just swirling spot lights, a loud pep band and excitable cheerleaders, the pregame show at the Thomas & Mack Center has evolved through the years.

The Runnin’ Rebels get the red-carpet treatment as the team is introduced. The carpet is rolled out onto the floor, while strobe lights topped off by a video and fireworks show get the place rockin’.

The exhibition uses 60 pyrotechnic effects, 24 strobe lights, 36 other lights, takes four to five hours to set up and a crew of seven to pull it off at game time.

“The Place to BE” marketing campaign was introduced prior to the 2009-10 season celebrating the UNLV Runnin’ Rebel program’s rejuvenation in Las Vegas.

Last season, UNLV basketball enjoyed its highest home attendance figures in nearly a decade and the second-highest numbers since legendary UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian’s final season. Throughout the season, the campaign will celebrate UNLV fans. Sample copy from “The Place to BE” campaign includes: “BE Loyal. BE the Difference. BE All In. UNLV Runnin’ Rebel Basketball is The Place to BE.”

In addition to being used in the Runnin’ Rebel advertising campaign, "The Place to BE" will also be the theme throughout the season during in-game entertainment.

PEP BANDNumbering more than 80 strong, the UNLV Pep Band, which began in its present

form in 1978, is a big part of Runnin’ Rebel basketball. Nothing gets the crowd on its feet at the Thomas and Mack Center faster than the sounds of “Win with the Rebels” and “Viva Las Vegas.” The UNLV Pep Band, directed by Tony LaBounty, also performs at other university-related events as well as select convention appearances.

DICK CALVERTVOICE OF THE REBELS

A familiar sound to UNLV fans of all ages, Dick Calvert, the "Voice of the Rebels," is in his fourth decade as the game announcer for UNLV Athletics.

Calvert, who calls UNLV football, basketball, men's & women's soccer, baseball games and other events at Sam Boyd Stadium, Thomas & Mack Center, Cox Pavilion, Peter Johann Memorial Field and Earl E. Wilson Stadium, has also served as the game announcer

of the MWC basketball tournament, the Las Vegas Bowl, the NBA Vegas Summer League, the FIBA Americas tournament and the USA Basketball Senior Men's National Team.

Additionally, the longtime university staffer works many MWC Championships hosted by UNLV and is the official starter for a number of university and NCAA golf tournaments. Calvert annually works over 100 local events.

The former play-by-play broadcaster is also one of the most experienced commenta-tors of American professional soccer, having served 18 seasons in both the North American and Major Soccer Leagues. Calvert had the privilege of working in three World Cups.

The Las Vegas resident retired from broadcasting and the UNLV Athletics Department after serving as the director of broadcasting, director of athletic marketing for Olympic sports and director of athletic facilities/operations. Calvert and his wife Anne have four adult children and are the proud grandparents of 10.

ATTENDANCE AT TMC CONTINUES TO CLIMBThe 2008-09 season saw

UNLV fans fill the Thomas & Mack Center at one of the high-est marks since the early 1990s. UNLV averaged 13,446 fans per game last year, the Runnin' Rebels' second-highest mark since Jerry Tarkanian's last year as coach in 1991-92.

In fact, that number climbed to just below 15,000 per game in conference play last season, including drawing a sellout crowd of 18,523 for a win over BYU. It was UNLV's first sellout since 1993.

UNLV grew to No. 22 in the nation in home attendance last season, including being No. 1 on the West Coast.

"Not only is that great for our players and our fans, but we love to talk about that to our recruits as well," Kruger said. "What our fans did last season will have a long-term impact on our program."

Prior to last season's sellout against BYU, UNLV's largest crowd during the Lon Kruger era was 18,069 during Senior Day in 2007.

HEY REBEmbodying the Rebel spirit of

the University he promotes, UNLV's Hey Reb made his debut in 1983 and received a makeover in 1997. Recently named one of 12 All-American Mascots, he competed for the title of 2004 Capital One Mascot of the Year and made a strong showing by coming in second in online voting. No stranger to national television, however, Hey Reb also appeared in two memorable ESPN SportsCenter commercials.

CHEER AND DANCETwo of the nation’s best-known spirit squads, the UNLV Cheerleaders

and the UNLV Dance Team (Rebel Girls) are fixtures at Runnin’ Rebel basketball games. The teams perform at various UNLV Athletics events, conventions and shows, and volunteer their time to appear at numerous events throughout the Las Vegas community. The Cheer & Dance Teams also devote time to instructing the UNLV Rebel Starzz - a group of young dancers ages 3-16 that performs at games throughout the year.

On-court promotions keep even the youngest fans involved at Runnin' Rebel games.

"TICKETS FOR TEACHERS" PROGRAMIn recent seasons, UNLV Athletics has been actively reaching out to the community to form

unique partnerships to benefit community organizations as well as increase the size of the crowds inside the Thomas & Mack Center on gamedays.

One of the most impactful partnerships has been the “Tickets for Teachers” program. Working with the Clark County School District’s School-Community Partnership, “Tickets for Teachers” provides Runnin’ Rebel season tickets to every elementary and middle school in the district so principals can use to give to teachers as an incentive throughout the season. Donors provide the $180 per school for the purchase of the tickets.

Entering the 2009-10 season, nearly 800 tickets per game are expected to be part of the “Tickets for Teachers” program at all 16 Runnin’ Rebel games at the Thomas & Mack Center this season.

"This is a simple way to tell teachers `thank you,'" said UNLV men's basketball head coach Lon Kruger, who also serves on the advisory board of the Clark County School District's School-Community Partnership. "It is a small way to recognize teachers, but has a big impact. The feedback we received from teachers was tremendous and we are looking forward to growing the program this year."

By Mark WallingtonUNLV Sports Information “AND NOW...” Two words that start it all: clear floor ... drop lights ... cue band ... start dancers ... roll fireworks ... and get ready for the greatest pregame show in all of college basketball. The Voice of the Rebels takes everyone in the Thomas & Mack Center through 2 minutes and 40 seconds of excitement that gets the play-ers introduced and the crowd on its feet. Public address announcer Dick Calvert is your host for the spectacular and has been since its inception in the mid-1970s. Originally, the pregame show was just swirling spot lights, a loud pep band and excitable cheerlead-ers getting things rolling during player introductions. “We wanted to add some pizzazz, give it a touch of Vegas,” said Dominic Clark, UNLV sports informa-tion director at the time. “When we saw the affect it had on spectators and visiting teams, we lengthened it.” As the team became more known, so did too, its university’s pregame show. Fans came earlier. Reporters called. Photographers set up to capture the spectacle on film. All of this was before the Thomas & Mack Center when the Rebels were running the floor of the Las Vegas Convention Center. “It was a natural progression for a team that was becoming big time,” said Calvert. “Basketball people across the country were talking about the team in the desert.” Apparently the UNLV athletic brain trust had to wing it because there was nothing else like it in sports. “We were pioneers,” said Clark. “No one else had anything so elaborate and it just continued to expand.” The pregame show continued to expand and arouse the Thomas & Mack Center faithful. At the same time, a great affect on the visiting team

became quite noticeable as well. “The other teams were intimidated by it all,” said Clark. “Sometimes they were shell shocked even after the game started and wouldn’t score a point for 10 minutes while the Rebels ran up and down the floor. A visiting coach once told Sports Illustrated that the pregame show was worth 10 points to UNLV.” The pregame show has grown so big and bois-terous that visiting teams often duck it completely. “Teams coming in here for the first time would get caught by surprise,” Calvert said. “But coaches in the conference got smart and started pulling their teams off the court so they wouldn’t get intimidated. (former Georgetown coach) John Thompson learned always to take his team out.” The Runnin’ Rebels move into their state-of-the-art arena allowed for more additions to the show. Calvert now announced the rolling out of the red carpet and the light show became more intricate

with strobe effects. And things got really wild with the introduction of fireworks. About two decades ago, former TMC director of operations Mike Enoch decided it was time to go all out. He worked with Matt Dillingham of Advanced Entertainment Services on developing an indoor pyrotechnic light show and in 1986 the sparks really flew. Dillingham, who is the president of the company, has since worked with numerous professional teams in the NBA and NHL but said none can duplicate the excitement and breadth of the Rebels’ show. “A lot of professional teams try to duplicate what UNLV does but don’t get close to it,” Dillingham said. “I know a lot of people who have come to games just to see the pregame show.” The exhibition uses 60 pyrotechnic effects, 24 strobe lights, 36 other lights, takes four to five hours to set up and a crew of seven to pull it off at game time. Great care is taken to head off any safety problems. The basketball floor is cleared except for the cheerleaders and they stand in a protected area in the middle of the court. Plus, Dillingham said all fireworks are of the indoor variety, meaning they’re not toxic. After gaining a reputation in the West, the show was first broadcast in its entirety during a nationally televised game in the late-1980s.

In September of 2008, the Thomas & Mack Center received a complete visual equipment overhaul. As part of the partnership between UNLV and ISP Sports, the arena received upgraded equipment, which was part of the $3.1 million in total upgrades to UNLV Athletics' facilities. The new equipment at the TMC includes a center-hung scoreboard and video display, which replaced Redd Vision. The old equipment had been in place since 1995. Also, the new equipment includes partial ring beam displays and a new scorer's table display. The new equipment has greatly enhanced the fan experience and presentation during events at the facility and has increased the visibility of UNLV's sponsors and advertisers. "This equipment allows us to enhance and create new interactive opportunities for our fans, event produc-ers and corporate clients at every event the Thomas & Mack Center hosts," former UNLV Athletics Director Mike Hamrick said shortly after the equipment was installed. "Our basketball program is again receiving national recognition and exciting the community and we have always had world-renown special events. These equipment upgrades have added to the experience of our spectators and have improved our events." The Thomas & Mack Center, now in its 27th

year of existence, has been ranked as high as the No. 2-grossing facility in the world. The center-hung video scoring display features four LED wide-screen video boards (8-feet high by 13-feet, 4-inches wide). The 10 mm pixel pitch of each board provides an amazing quality of viewing for spec-tators. Additionally, as part of the center-hung unit, there are four scoring/advertising displays (4-feet, 2-inches high by 16-feet, 8-inches wide with a 20 mm pixel pitch) and a Pro-Star advertising ring (2-feet, 1-inch high by 49-feet, 11-inches wide, also with a 20 mm pixel pitch). The partial ring beam (balcony fascia) display, which features four indoor Pro-Ad advertising displays, spans 80 percent of the balcony's rim. Each section is 3-feet high by 88-feet, 10-inches long that features LED displays with a 23 mm pixel pitch. Two custom score-boards have also been installed behind each basket on the balcony's rim that feature fixed digital scoring with complete player stats (points, rebounds and fouls) and backlit, tri-vision ad panels for sponsors and advertis-ers. Other equipment included is a 50-foot LED scor-er's table with a 10 mm pixel pitch, new shot clocks for the backboards, which include 13-inch high digits for shot clock time and 7-inch digits for game time. Six wall-mounted locker room clocks displaying the game

time have also been installed. A new outdoor marquee LED billboard on the cor-ner of Tropicana and Swenson has also been added as well as a new baseball scoreboard at Wilson Stadium.

MARILYN AND SI REDD BASKETBALL OFFICES

The UNLV Athletics Department announced on March 9, 1993, a $350,000 donation by the late Si and Marilyn Redd, owners of Si Redd’s Oasis, for the expan-sion and renovation of the men’s and women’s basketball offices within the Thomas & Mack Center. The offices, dubbed the ‘‘Marilyn and Si Redd Basketball Offices’’ were dedicated in a ribbon cutting ceremony on Sept. 1, 1993. The completion of the Marilyn and Si Redd Basketball Offices put the finishing touches on a $4 million renovation at the Thomas & Mack Center, which brought about increased food services, restroom and handicapped facilities, along with a new look. ‘‘The pride we have felt with the performances of the Rebels - both men and women - made us believe that

it was necessary to provide the best facilities possible for the coaches,” Marilyn Redd said in 1993. “We want the coaches to have the type of facilities necessary to recruit the caliber of student-athlete needed to continue their outstanding performances.’’ In November 1992, the Redds made a $1.7 million donation to the university for the upgrading of the Si Redd Room and for the construction of the Marilyn and Si Redd Sports Medicine Center. Si Redd was one of gaming’s great characters and also one of the most well-known, knowledgeable people on the subject of coin operated devices. Known as the ‘‘King of the Slot Machine,’’ Si got his start in 1930 with a Bally pinball machine. Almost half a century later, he developed video poker, and went on to found what would become one of the most important, profitable businesses in the gaming world, International Game Technology. The UNLV men’s basketball offices underwent another minor renovation in 2004, which was made

possible by the former Runnin’ Rebel Basketball Club. It provided the offices with an updated look along with a new player’s lounge area.

On Nov. 26, 2005, prior to the start of the game against Nevada, Reno, the court at the Thomas & Mack Center was named “Tarkanian Court.” During 19 years as UNLV's head basketball coach (1973-1992), Jerry Tarkanian posted a 509-105 (.829) record with the Runnin’ Rebels. Tarkanian took four teams to the NCAA Final Four, winning the national championship in 1990 in a 103-73 runaway over Duke - the highest margin

of victory in NCAA tournament championship game history. A member of UNLV's athletic hall of fame, Tarkanian, known to fans as the towel-chewing "Tark the Shark," never had a losing season while

at UNLV. At UNLV, Tarkanian coached 13 players recognized as All-Americans a total of 20 times. He won 11 regu-lar-season conference championships, seven confer-ence tournament titles and made 12 NCAA Tournament appearances, including a string of nine straight. He was an eight-time conference coach of the year and was named UPI's National Coach of the Year in 1983.

Radio/TV

Former Runnin' Rebel legend Robert Smith is in his first year as the UNLV men's bas-ketball program's radio analyst Smith, who starred at the school from 1974-77, replaced Glen

"Gondo" Gondrezick, who served in the position for 17

years and passed away in April of 2009. Smith, 54, a former teammate of Gondrezick's on the squad known as the "Hardway Eight," joins Jon Sandler, who is in his sixth season as the radio play-by-play voice of the program, to make up this season's broadcast team. Smith played point guard on UNLV's first team that reached the NCAA Final Four, in 1977. He remains UNLV's career leader in free throw percentage at 87.8 percent and he is also the single-season leader, making 92.5 percent of his tries during the 1976-77 season. He played seven years in the NBA, four more in the CBA and seven playing in France. Smith also coached nine years at Las Vegas' Bishop Gorman High School, winning two state titles and finishing as runner-up twice.

A member of the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame's Class of 1987, he was also inducted into the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame this past June. He has spent time in recent years coaching at the Andre Agassi Boys and Girls Club and he is still involved in coaching youth teams in the Las Vegas area today. Smith also holds the UNLV record for most consecu-tive free throws without a miss during a season with 27 (1976-77 season). He led the team in assists during the 1975-76 and 1976-77 seasons with 157 and 195, respec-tively, and he ranks seventh on the UNLV career assists chart with 445 during his three-year career. Robert and his wife of 36 years, Gloria, have three sons and a daughter: Robert Jr. (34), Jamaal (24), who played college basketball at New Mexico, Elijah (14) and Anika (28).

Veteran play-by-play broadcaster Jon Sandler is in his sixth year behind the microphone for UNLV men’s basketball. Sandler, 48, has a remarkable professional and educational back-ground that provides him

with a unique perspective on the air. He is an honors graduate of Stanford University and the University of Virginia School of Law.

Sandler practiced corporate law in Palo Alto, Calif., from 1986-1990. At that point, he decided to follow his love of sports and became the play-by-play voice of the Salinas Spurs baseball team in the California League.

After working for two years in Single-A ball, (Salinas and the Palm Springs Angels), Sandler was hired as the play-by-play broadcaster for the Triple-A Las Vegas Stars prior to the 1993 season.

During his seven-year stint as "The Voice of the Stars," Sandler quickly established himself as one of the bright young sportscasters in the country. He received numerous honors, including being selected as the Pacific Coast League's sole representative on the ESPN tele-casts of the Triple-A World Series. Sandler also handled radio and television broadcast duties for the Las Vegas Thunder of the International Hockey League.

Sandler’s background has also allowed him to work in other areas of professional sports. He was the

Director of Marketing, Broadcasting and Public Relations for the Stars and the Thunder and in 2000, was named Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for the Las Vegas Outlaws of the XFL. Under his leadership, the Las Vegas XFL team was widely regarded as the most successful in the League.

Sandler has also handled the play-by-play duties for the UNLV baseball team, who won three straight Mountain West Conference Tournament championships from 2003-05 with Sandler calling the action.

Sandler is also employed as Vice President of Business Development and Regional Director, Las Vegas, by Clear Channel Spectacolor, overseeing sales and marketing efforts on the multi-media venue at the Fashion Show ("The Cloud"), Miracle Mile Shops and other multi-media projects in Las Vegas.

Jon and his wife, Sherry, live in Las Vegas.

ME WITH UNLV HOOPS"IN MEMORY OF "GONDO" Referred to fondly in the sports world simply as "Gondo," former UNLV men's basketball star, NBA player and longtime radio and TV announcer Glen Gondrezick will be remembered first and foremost as a true Runnin' Rebel. Gondrezick died in April of 2009 at the age of 53. He had undergone a heart transplant in Sept. of 2008. Gondrezick was one of Jerry Tarkian's first recruits at UNLV and lettered from 1973-77. He went on to finish as the 16th-leading scorer in UNLV basketball history with 1,311 points and played a major role in the Runnin' Rebels advancing to their first NCAA Final Four in 1977. Gondrezick's determination and hustle made him an instant fan favorite, and his style of play almost always resulted in scrambles on the floor and collisions in the scorer's table while chasing down loose balls. His jersey number 25 was retired in a halftime ceremony at the Runnin' Rebels game against UCLA at the Thomas & Mack Center on Dec. 27, 1997. Gondrezick averaged 11.4 points per game during his four seasons in Las Vegas. He also is ninth (831) on the Runnin' Rebel career rebounds list. A 1977 honorable mention All-American and 1987

inductee into the Rebel Athletics Hall of Fame, he was a second round NBA draft pick and spent six seasons in the pro league - two (1977-79) with the New York Knicks and four (1979-83) with the Denver Nuggets. He averaged 5.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game over his career.

Gondrezick would later return to UNLV, spending 17 seasons as a radio and television analyst for his alma mater.

UNLV TO APPEAR ON THE MTN., CBS COLLEGE SPORTS & VERSUS THIS SEASON The Mountain West Conference television package reaches a national audience through a combination of telecasts on The MountainWest Sports Network (The Mtn.), CBS College Sports Network (formerly CSTV) and VERSUS. The Mtn. has been available to cable subscribers in the MWC footprint since it fi rst aired in 2006-07 and is now available nationally on DIRECTV (Channel 616). In 2009-10, UNLV men's basketball will make at least nine appearances on The Mtn., fi ve on CBS College Sports and fi ve more on VERSUS. On Aug. 26, 2004, College Sports Television (CSTV) and the MWC announced a visionary partnership that revolutionized the college sports landscape. The land-mark agreement was the fi rst NCAA Division I football and men’s basketball conference-wide deal for CSTV and provided the network exclusive rights to all conference events, including cable and satellite television coverage, national over-the-air and satellite radio, video-on-demand and online broadcast rights. A succession of events since the fall of 2004 has improved the television model, including CSTV’s merger with Comcast SportsNet to create The Mtn. – Moun-

tainWest Sports Network and CBS Corporation’s purchase of CSTV. In 2008, CBS incorporated CSTV’s cable, broadcast and online activities into its world-famous brand. The Mtn. is co-owned by CBS C and Comcast SportNet. The relationship with Comcast SportNet also delivered another national broadcast partner in VERSUS. The MWC was the fi rst exclusive college programming provider for the Comcast-owned entity, with football and both men’s and women’s basketball games. The CBS C/MWC partnership has guaranteed greater levels of television exposure for all league sports and has resoundingly met the fundamental goals of more exposure and preferred start times and dates. In the summer of 2006, the centerpiece of this historic relationship was real-ized with the launch of The Mtn. – the fi rst sports network dedicated to serving a single collegiate athletic conference. The Mtn. provides sports fans blanket coverage of MWC athletics across multiple sports, including football, men’s and women’s bas-ketball, and men’s and women’s Olympic sports. Along with live games, fans get a comprehensive array of news, features and analysis about their favorite MWC teams and players. In 2008-09, more than 250 MWC events were shown live on The Mtn., CBS C and VERSUS. CBS C is currently in over 30 million homes, while VERSUS is in more than 68 million households.

Enjoying a complete redesign last year, the official UNLV athletics website www.UNLVRebels.com has steadily expanded in both content and usership since its premiere in 1997.

As one of the hundreds of official athletic sites that make up the CBS College Sports Network, the Rebels’ home on the internet features in-depth, updated information 24 hours a day.

The official UNLV athletic website features an enhanced design with rotating stories and a wide photo layout on the front page.

In addition, the site takes advantage of a number of CBSCollegeSports.com online features, including its exclusive GameTracker technology, allowing Rebel fans to follow live simulated game action, details and full play-by-play. Through the site, CBS College Sports also operates the Rebels’ online store, which provides officially licensed merchandise and apparel.

Also, UNLVRebels.com is your home for UNLV All-Access, which is a popular online service that features the most in-depth coverage of Rebel sports through exclusive audio and video content, including live games streamed via broadband, special features, highlights, press conferences, coaches’ shows and much more.

On The Web

Mountain West Conference

BIRTH OF A CONFERENCEThe Mountain West Conference was conceived on May 26, 1998,

when the presidents of eight institutions — Air Force, Brigham Young, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming — decided to form a new NCAA Division I-A intercollegiate athletic confer-ence. The split from the former 16-team WAC re-established continuity and stability among the membership within the new league and signaled the continuation of its tradition-rich, long-standing athletic rivalries. Five of the MWC’s nine members have been conference rivals since the 1960s (BYU, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado State), while San Diego State (1978) and Air Force (1980) were longtime members as well. UNLV entered the fold in 1996 and TCU began its first year of competition in 2005-06, completing the membership in the MWC as it stands today. From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West Conference has beencommitted to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. The Colorado Springs-based league is noted for its geographic diversity. Some of the most beautiful terrain and landscapes in the nation can be found within Mountain West boundaries, including the majestic Rocky Mountain range, which borders four MWC schools (Utah, BYU, Air Force and Colorado State). The high plains of Wyoming (elevation 7,220 feet – the highest Division I campus in the nation) contrast with the desert city of Las Vegas (the fastest growing metropolitan area in the West) and the Pacific Ocean locale of San Diego State. The southwestern flavor of New Mexico complements the western heritage and culture of Fort Worth, Texas, home of the MWC’s newest member, TCU. MWC members have participated in 36 bowl games in 10 years with eight of the nine schools going to at least one postseason event. The MWC has earned 45 postseason bids in men’s basketball, including 22 NCAA Tournament appearances, while women’s basketball has tallied 27 NCAA bids, four Sweet 16 appearances and one Elite Eight berth since 2000. The MWC has sent at least 30 teams to NCAA postseason events each of the past 10 years while capturing seven NCAA team championships during that span.

YEAR IN REVIEWThe Mountain West Conference celebrated a decade of competition

in style, posting another successful season on the hardwood in 2008-09. Utah, BYU and New Mexico shared the league’s regular-season crown in men’s basketball, with the Utes also capturing the MWC Tournament title to earn the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. BYU received an at-large bid to NCAA postseason play, marking the ninth time in the last 10 years the MWC has sent multiple teams to the NCAA Tournament. Overall, the league sent six teams into postseason action for the third time in 10

years, highlighted by San Diego State’s run in the National Invitation Tournament. The Aztecs became the second MWC team (Air Force in 2007) in three years to advance to the NIT semifinals held at Madison Square Garden in New York City. ACHIEVEMENT The MWC has produced 539 All-America selections among its 19 sponsored sports in the last 10 years, including a league-record 53 All-America honorees in 2004-05. A total of 103 MWC student-athletes have also earned Academic All-America accolades in that span, while 29 MWC student-athletes have earned NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. The MWC has sent at least 30 teams to NCAA post-season events each of the past 10 years. Mountain West institutions have captured seven NCAA team championships over the last 10 years. Additionally, the MWC has had several NCAA individual national champions. MWC members have participated in 36 bowl games in 10 years and the MWC has earned 45 postseason bids in men’s basketball, including 22 NCAA Tournament appearances and two NIT Final Four berths.

Former Rebel All-American and Hogan Award winner Ryan Moore became the only MWC individual national champion in men's golf when he won the 2004 NCAA golf title.

in each of the NFL, NBA and MLB drafts since the league’s founding in 1999.

COMMISSIONER CRAIG THOMPSONCraig Thompson was the Mountain

West Conference’s first employee when he was named Commissioner on Oct. 15, 1998. Ever since, Thompson has navigated the newest NCAA Division I conference through the ever-changing landscape of intercol-legiate athletics. As the league enters its 11th season of competition in 2009-10, Thompson continues to create and improve the opportunities for MWC institutions and student-athletes to be successful both aca-demically and athletically.

Progressive in its approach, the MWC has flourished under the guidance of Commissioner Thompson and continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship. He has been instrumental in negotiating nearly $230 million in television revenue, directed the league through expansion and has been an innova-tor in the postseason bowl structure as MWC teams have participated in five inaugural bowl games.

His leadership and vision have helped the conference enhance its television revenue and exposure through revolutionary agreements with CBS College Sports Network (formerly CSTV) and Comcast to become the first major collegiate athletic conference to launch a dedicated sports chan-nel featuring exclusive programming around its nine athletic programs.

Thompson has been instrumental in strengthening the position of the Mountain West in the current Bowl Championship Series (BCS) structure. In 2006, he spearheaded an effort that resulted in better access for the MWC and more than doubled the annual BCS revenue on an annual basis for non-automatic-qualifying conferences. The MWC has been steadfast in its efforts to find a way to make the BCS system fair for all universities.

Through its first 10 years of competition, the MWC has participated in 36 bowl games. In 2007, the MWC posted the best winning percent-age among the 11 conferences that make up the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision and claimed the 2007-08 ESPN Bowl Challenge Cup for the second time in four years. The MWC has sent a record five teams into postseason action both of the last two seasons (2007-08) and over the past five campaigns boasts the best winning percentage in bowl games among FBS conferences.

Prior to his current role, Thompson served as the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference for nearly eight years and as the only commissioner of the American South Conference prior to the merger of the two leagues in 1991. Thompson graduated from the University of Minnesota with an undergraduate degree in journalism.

He and his wife, Carla, have a son, Ted, and a daughter, Emma.

NABC RECOGNITIONAdams and Rougeau were also selected as members of the 2009 National Association of Basketball Coaches' (NABC) Division I All-District Teams. Adams was honored by being named to the All-District 17 First Team along with Utah's Luke Nevill, BYU's Lee Cummard, and Kyle Spain and Lorrenzo Wade, both from San Diego State. Adams was a second-team selection in 2007-08. Rougeau was named to the second team along with Wyoming's Brandon Ewing, New Mexico's Tony Danridge and Daniel Faris, and TCU's Kevin Langford. The NABC Division I All-District Teams recognize the nation's best men's collegiate basketball student-athletes and are selected and voted on by member coaches of the NABC.

KRUGER ERA - YEAR FIVEHead Coach Lon Kruger completed his fifth season with the Runnin’ Rebels in 2008-09, compiling an overall record of 112-53 (.679). Since the beginning of the 2006-07 season, Kruger has led his UNLV squad to a 78-26 mark (.750), two consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tournament in 2007 (Sweet 16 appearance) and 2008 (second-round appearance), and an NIT bid in 2009. With the 21 wins in 2008-09 for UNLV, Kruger has led the program to three consecutive seasons with 20 or more wins for the first time since 1990-93.

KRUGER A PROSSER FINALISTHead coach Lon Kruger was one of 12 finalists for the Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award, which is presented annu-ally by CollegeInsider.com, in conjunction with the Prosser family. The award is given to a Division I head coach who best represents the high standards of the coaching profes-sion by winning with integrity. The 12 finalists were selected from a group of 20 semi-finalists compiled by the selec-tion panel. In addition to Kruger, the finalists included Jim Calhoun (Connecticut), Jeff Capel (Oklahoma), Ed Conroy (The Citadel), Ed DeChellis (Penn State), Jamie Dixon (Pittsburgh), Dino Gaudio (Wake Forest), Tom Izzo (Michigan State), Trent Johnson (LSU), Billy Lange (Navy), Stew Morrill (Utah State) and Bruce Weber (Illinois). Conroy won the 2009 award, while the 2008 inaugural award was given to Notre Dame's Mike Brey. The award is named in memory of former Wake Forest head coach Skip Prosser who passed away suddenly on July 26, 2007.

UNLV WINS VS. MWCThe Runnin' Rebels are 178-94 all-time against teams that currently make up the Mountain West Conference and are the only conference team with an all-time winning record (over .500) against each of the other eight teams in the league (Air Force 21-8, BYU 16-13, Colorado State 29-8, New Mexico 24-14, San Diego State 31-15, TCU 12-2, Utah 21-20, Wyoming 24-14).

MWC HOME WIN STREAKS ENDS AT 27Prior to the Feb. 3, 2009, home loss to San Diego State in overtime, UNLV had won 27 straight games against MWC opponents at the Thomas & Mack Center (dating back to the 2005-06 season). The streak included 21 consecutive wins against league foes in regular-season action and six MWC Tournament victories. UNLV concluded the 2008-09 season with a mark of 31-2 at home against MWC opponents in its last 33 games.

THREE STRAIGHT 20-WIN SEASONSUNLV finished with 21 victories in 2008-09, and the program reached the 20-win plateau for the third straight season - the Runnin' Rebels won 30 games in 2006-07 and 27 in 2007-08. The last time UNLV had won 20 or more games three straight years was 1990-93. The Runnin' Rebels won 34 in 1990-91, 26 in 1991-92 and 21 in 1992-93.

UNLV concluded 2008-09 with a record of 78-26 (.750) since the start of the 2006-07 season and had a 19-game home win streak snapped against California on Nov. 28 ... prior to the loss it was tied for the seventh-longest active streak in the country ... UNLV also finished the season with a record of 52-7 at home since the start of the 2006-07 season and prior to the overtime loss against San Diego State at home on Feb. 3, the Rebels had won 27 straight games against MWC opponents at the Thomas & Mack Center.

UNLV BEATS FOUR NCAA TOURN. TEAMSAlthough not invited to play in the 2009 NCAA Tournament, the Runnin' Rebels made some noise during the year against teams that did qualify to play in the Big Dance. UNLV won at Louisville, at home against Arizona, swept the season home-and-away series with BYU and beat Utah at home - all teams that participated in the 2009 NCAA Tournament. The Cardinals advanced to the Elite Eight and the Wildcats advanced to the Sweet 16.

2009 ALL-MWCSeniors Wink Adams and René Rougeau were both recog-nized as the 2008-09 All-Mountain West Conference awards were handed out. Adams, a 6-foot guard from Houston, Texas, was selected to the All-MWC second team, while Rougeau, a 6-6 guard from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., was named to the third team and was also named a member of the conference's all-defensive squad. Both Adams and Rougeau also earned all-conference accolades in the past as Adams was a member of the first team in 2007-08 and Rougeau was named honorable mention in 2007-08. As a sophomore, Adams was a second-team selection and was honorable mention as a freshman in 2005-06. The awards were selected by the league's nine men's head coaches along with a media panel.

BYU SWEEPUNLV defeated BYU at the Marriott Center, 76-70, on Jan. 21, 2009, snapping the Cougars' 25-game home MWC win streak. It was also just BYU's second loss on its home floor in 57 games. On Feb. 21, 2009, at the Thomas & Mack Center, UNLV defeated BYU again (75-74), which marked the Runnin' Rebels first regular-season sweep of the Cougars since the 1997-98 season when both teams were members of the WAC.

FIRST SELLOUT IN 16 YEARSUNLV's attendance of 18,523 vs. BYU on Feb. 21, 2009, at the Thomas & Mack Center was UNLV's first sellout (capacity is listed as 18,500) since Jan. 23, 1993, vs. Georgetown. That game drew 18,723, which included standing room only tick-ets. The largest previous attendance during the Lon Kruger era was 18,069 during Senior Day on March 3, 2007.

HOME ATTENDANCE BEST IN A DECADEOver the 18 home games in 2008-09, UNLV averaged a crowd of 13,446, which was UNLV's best home average attendance since the 1997-98 season when the Runnin' Rebels averaged 14,028 fans per home game, and was its second-highest mark since Jerry Tarkanian's last year as coach in 1991-92. The average attendance in 2008-09 grew to just below 15,000 per game in conference play, including drawing a sellout crowd of 18,523 for a win over BYU, mark-ing the program's first sellout since 1993. UNLV climbed to No. 22 in the nation in home attendance in 2008-09, including being No. 1 on the West Coast.

SIX IN DOUBLE FIGURESAgainst Colorado State on Feb. 14, 2009, six UNLV play-ers scored in double figures: Tre'Von Willis had 21, René Rougeau scored 14, Oscar Bellfield and Joe Darger each had 13, while Wink Adams scored 10. It was the only time in 2008-09 that more than four UNLV players scored in double figures in the same game. The last time UNLV had six in double figures in the same game was in the 2002 MWC Tournament Quarterfinals when UNLV defeated New Mexico 120-117 in double overtime

REBELS MATCH 21-GAME START AGAINUNLV finished 21-11 in 2008-09, but after 21 games, the Runnin' Rebels were 17-4, which matched their 21-game starts of each of the previous two seasons. UNLV finished the 2006-07 season with a 30-7 overall record and was 27-8 in 2007-08.

KRUGER'S 700TH COLLEGE GAMEUNLV head coach Lon Kruger coached his 700th game as a collegiate head coach on Jan. 10, 2009, at TCU. Kruger has a 23-year career record of 430-286.

UNLV HAS WON 50-OF-56 AT HOMEThe Runnin’ Rebels finished their 26th season in the 18,500-seat Thomas & Mack Center in 2008-09. UNLV has posted an all-time record of 360-72 (.833) in the arena since it opened in 1983. The Runnin’ Rebels were 12-4 at home in 2005-06, 19-1 at home in 2006-07 (including 17 straight wins to close the year) and 19-2 at home in 2007-08 (including 15 straight wins to close the year).

The Runnin' Rebels had a 19-game home win streak snapped on Nov. 21, 2007, against then-No. 6 Louisville and have now won 50 of their last 56 games at the Thomas & Mack Center. Another 19-game home win streak was snapped on Nov. 28, 2008, against California when at the time was tied for the seventh-longest active home win streak in the country. UNLV has the best all-time home-court win percentage in the MWC. Utah is second at .824, while New Mexico is third at .810.

ADAMS FINISHES SIXTH IN SCORINGWink Adams (2005-09) ended his career sixth on the UNLV career scoring list with 1,875 points. Silas Stepp (1962-66) is fifth with 1,942 and Freddie Banks (1983-87) is fourth with 2,007. Adams also ended his career fourth on the all-time MWC career scoring list. Brandon Heath from San

MORE MWC CAREER CHARTSWink Adams is third all-time in the MWC in steals with 213 during his career. San Diego State’s Richie Williams is the all-time leader with 243 steals, surpassing former Aztec Brandon Heath (2003-07), who recorded 217. Adams' 208 career made 3-pointers ranks ninth on the all-time MWC list, while Joe Darger is 10th on that same list with 207 career made 3-pointers.

100/100 CLUBWink Adams nearly broke into the exclusive MWC 100/100 club (100 starts and 100 games scoring in double figures). Adams had 122 starts for his career and 99 games scoring in double figures. The only players in MWC history that have recorded 100 or more starts and 100 or more games scoring in double figures are Wyoming's Brandon Ewing and San Diego State’s Brandon Heath.

78-26 SINCE START OF 2006-07With 2006-07's 30-7 overall record, 2007-08's 27-8 mark and 2008-09's 21-11 record, UNLV is 78-26 since the start of the 2006-07 season and has a winning percentage of .750.

PERFECT DECEMBERUNLV was perfect in the month of December in 2008, record-ing 7-0 mark, including wins against Arizona and at then-No. 18 Louisville. UNLV's last perfect month of December before the 2008-09 season occurred during the 2006-07 season when the Runnin' Rebels went 9-0.

EIGHT-GAME WIN STREAKUNLV had a season-high eight-game win streak snapped with its loss at TCU on Jan. 10, 2009. The eight-game streak was the Runnin' Rebels' longest since winning nine straight during the 2006-07 season. That season's nine-game win streak was snapped with a NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 loss to Oregon. UNLV also had a 10-game win streak earlier that season.

TEAM AWARDSAt UNLV's team banquet, head coach Lon Kruger handed out the 2008-09 team awards. Todd Hanni, Derrick Jasper, Mareceo Rutledge, Steve Jones and Darris Santee won the academic awards, while the ECF Student-Athlete of the Year (team MVP) was René Rougeau. Steve Jones won most inspirational player. The MVP and most inspirational player awards were voted on by team members.

PAIR OF MWC WEEKLY AWARDSRené Rougeau was named the Mountain West Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week for the first time in his career on Dec. 8, 2008. Later in the season UNLV sophomore Tre'Von Willis was named the Mountain West Conference Co-Men's Basketball Player of the Week on Jan. 26, 2009, marking his first career honor.

ACADEMIC ALL-MWCDarris Santee earned Spring 2009 Academic All-Mountain West Conference honors. Santee has a 3.25 cumulative grade point average and is majoring in university studies.

To be eligible for selection to the Academic All-MWC team, student-athletes must have completed at least one academic term at the school while maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better, and be a starter or significant contributor on their team.

HALL CALL FOR HENSONAfter the conclusion of the 2008-09 season, it was announced that UNLV assistant coach Steve Henson would be inducted into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame, which took place in October of 2009. Henson, a native of McPherson, Kansas, earned All-Big Eight basketball honors at Kansas State University and helped lead the Wildcats to four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, including an Elite Eight trip in 1988. Henson was current UNLV head coach Lon Kruger's first-ever recruit as head coach at Kansas State.

SIXTH-LONGEST HOME WIN STREAKUNLV had a 19-game home win streak snapped against California on Nov. 28, 2008. At the time, it was tied for the seventh-longest active home win streak in the country. The 19-game home win streak also tied for the sixth-longest home court win streak in program history. UNLV also won 19 home games in a row from Nov. 21, 2006 through Nov. 13, 2007. UNLV's fifth-longest home win streak was from Nov. 27, 1982 through Dec. 28, 1984 when it won 22 straight home games. UNLV's longest home win streak is 72 games, set from 1974-78.

350TH TMC WIN CAME IN 2008-09With its 71-58 win over North Carolina A&T on Nov. 22, 2008, UNLV won its 350th game at the Thomas & Mack Center. UNLV is 360-72 in 26 years on its current home court.

“3-POINT GOAL...”UNLV holds the NCAA record for most consecutive games with a made 3-pointer. Since the 3-point field goal was adopted by the NCAA in 1986-87, UNLV has converted at least one 3-pointer in all 738 games played.

UNLV MEN'S BASKETBALL - 52ND YEAR: The 2009-10 year will mark the 52nd season of Runnin’ Rebel basketball at UNLV. Since the program’s inception in 1958-59, the Runnin’ Rebels have posted an all-time record of 1,084-439 (.712). In 1969-70, UNLV made the move to Division I and has since posted a record of 897-335 (.728) while competing at that level. In addition, UNLV has an all-time mark of 1,045-416 (.715) against Division I competition.

ONE OF THE WINNINGEST DIVISION I PROGRAMS: With an all-time record of 1,058-429 (.711) against four-year American institutions, UNLV ranks as the fourth-winningest program by percent-age in NCAA Division I history (min. 25 years in Div. I). Kentucky’s record of 1,988-635-1 (.758) places the Wildcats as the all-time leader.

TOP-10 MOST PRESTIGIOUS PROGRAM: During the summer of 2008, ESPN.com released its top 10 most prestigious men's college basketball programs since the 1984-85 season and UNLV found itself among the likes of Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, Kentucky, Arizona, Connecticut, UCLA, Syracuse and Georgetown. The Runnin' Rebels came in at No. 8 on the list, which ranked 300 programs using a numerical method. UNLV finished with 239 total points, which were accumu-lated by winning 19 conference titles (nine regular-season and 10 tournament), having five 30-win seasons, 18 postseason trips (11 NCAA, seven NIT), three No. 1 NCAA Tournament seeds, six Sweet 16 appearances, three Final Fours, winning the 1990 National Championship, 24 NCAA Tournament wins, having five All-Americans and five NBA top-10 picks. The 1984-85 season was selected as a starting point because that is the year when the NCAA Tournament expanded to 64 teams, making it the first time a national champion had to win six tournament games to cut down the nets. According to ESPN.com, that season was also the start of the fairest inclusion in the NCAA Tournament since before that season, even the best conferences got only one team in the field. And with the introduction of the 3-point line in 1985-86, the previous 24 seasons could be considered the most modern era of college basketball, which was also according to ESPN.com.

LAST SEASON: In Lon Kruger’s fifth year as head coach at UNLV (2008-09), the Runnin' Rebels turned in an overall record of 21-11 and lost in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament at Kentucky to close out their season. The 21 wins marked the third straight season with 20 or more victories for UNLV, which was the first time the program had three straight seasons with 20 or more wins since 1990-93. The NIT appearance also marked the third consecutive trip to postseason play for UNLV, as the Runnin' Rebels made the NCAA Tournament in 2007 and 2008. UNLV finished fifth in the Mountain West Conference with a 9-7 mark. Kruger enters his sixth season at UNLV in 2009-10 after compiling a five-year mark of 112-53 (.679), including a record of 78-26 (.750) over the last three seasons. UNLV was 14-4 at home in 2008-09 and has a home mark of 52-7 over the past three years.

ATTENDANCE: The 2008-09 season saw UNLV fans fill the Thomas & Mack Center at one of the highest marks since the early 1990s. UNLV averaged 13,446 fans per game last year, the Runnin' Rebels' second-highest mark since Jerry Tarkanian's last year as coach in 1991-92. In fact, that number grew to just below 15,000 per game in conference play last season, including drawing a sellout crowd of 18,523 for a win over BYU. It was UNLV's first sellout since 1993. UNLV grew to No. 22 in the nation in home attendance last season, including being No. 1 on the West Coast. Prior to the sellout against BYU, UNLV's largest crowd during the Lon Kruger era came in 2007 on Senior Day when 18,069 were on hand vs. Colorado State.

MOUNTAIN WEST CONFERENCE: The Mountain West Conference is heading into its 11th season as a league. The now nine-member conference (TCU was added for 2005-06) features Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, TCU, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming. The first four MWC Basketball Tournaments were held at the Thomas & Mack Center and in 2004 the tournament was moved to the Pepsi Center in Denver where it lasted three years. The tournament returned to the TMC in 2007 and will stay in Las Vegas through at least 2013. The MWC is the fourth conference that UNLV has been a member of in its 51-year history. UNLV was a member of the WCAC for six seasons (1969-75); the Big West for 14 seasons (1982-96) and the WAC for three seasons (1996-99).

AGAINST THE CONFERENCE: The Runnin’ Rebels are the only Mountain West Conference school to have a winning record against every other conference member. UNLV leads the all-time series’ with Air Force (21-8), BYU (16-13), Colorado State (29-8), New Mexico (24-14), San Diego State (31-15), TCU (12-2), Utah (21-20) and Wyoming (24-14). Additionally, compared to the other schools in the conference, UNLV has the best all-time winning percentage on its home court. UNLV is 360-72 (.833), while Utah comes in next at 500-107 (.824).

POSTSEASON APPEARANCES: UNLV has appeared in the postseason 30 times in its history including 11 times in the past 13 seasons. UNLV has an all-time record of 33-15 (.688) in 16 appearances in the NCAA Tournament (Division I). UNLV's most recent appearance came when it advanced to the Sweet 16 in 2007 and lost in the second round to the eventual national champion (Kansas) in 2008. UNLV is 8-11 (.421) all-time in the NIT in 10 appearances with its last coming in 2009 with a loss at Kentucky. UNLV’s winning percentage of .688 in the NCAA Tournament places it as the seventh all-time winningest team in NCAA Tournament play by percentage of schools with a minimum of 20 games played. The last time UNLV played in the NCAA Tournament before

2007 and 2008 was in 2000. In its history, UNLV has made 10 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 appearances, four Final Four showings and won the national title in 1990.

A WINNING PROGRAM: UNLV has finished the season with a winning percentage of over .500, 47 times in its 51-year history.

NBA DRAFT LOTTERY SELECTIONS: Over the last 12 seasons, the UNLV program has had three players drafted with lottery picks in the annual NBA Draft. Most recently, Marcus Banks was selected 13th overall in the 2003 draft to the Memphis Grizzlies and moments later was traded to the Boston Celtics. The program had back-to-back lottery selections in 1998 and 1999 with Keon Clark (13th overall by the Orlando Magic - 1998) and Shawn Marion (ninth overall by the Phoenix Suns - 1999). A total of 13 Runnin’ Rebels have been selected in the NBA’s first round since 1975. Ricky Sobers was UNLV’s first player to be selected in the first round in 1975 by the Phoenix Suns.

ACTIVE NBA PLAYERS: There are four former Runnin' Rebels who are active on NBA rosters as of October 2009. They are Louis Amundson (Phoenix Suns), Joel Anthony (Miami Heat), Marcus Banks (Toronto Raptors) and Shawn Marion (Dallas Mavericks). Amundson, who was a senior in 2005-06, has played in the NBA the last three years after signing free agent contracts - he played for the Philadelphia 76ers in 2007-08. Anthony, who was a senior in 2006-07, joined the Miami Heat as a free agent for the 2007-08 season.

32 YEARS OF 20 WINS: UNLV has won 20 or more games in 32 of its 51 seasons of exis-tence. Dating back to the 1973-74 season, UNLV has posted 20 or more wins in 27 out of the last 36 years, including 30 or more wins five times. UNLV has a current streak of three seasons with 20 or more wins, marking the first time since 1990-93 that it has won 20-plus games in three consecutive years.

THE THOMAS & MACK CENTER: The 2009-10 season marks the 27th season of Runnin’ Rebel basketball in the 18,500-seat Thomas & Mack Center. UNLV has posted an all-time record of 360-72 (.833) in the arena since it opened in 1983. UNLV is 64-11 (.853) at home over the last four seasons (12-4 in 2005-06, 19-1 in 2006-07, 19-2 in 2007-08 and 14-4 in 2008-09) and 52-7 (.881) at home over the last three seasons. The Runnin' Rebels had a 19-game home win streak snapped on Nov. 21, 2007 against then-No. 6 Louisville and have now won 50 of their last 56 games at the Thomas & Mack Center (On Nov. 28. 2008, another 19-game home win streak was snapped, which was tied for the seventh-longest in the country at the time).

WORKIN’ OVERTIME: The Runnin’ Rebels all-time record in overtime games is 45-24 (.652). UNLV was 0-2 in overtime in 2008-09 and did not play an overtime game in 2007-08. The Runnin' Rebels were 2-1 in overtime in 2006-07. UNLV is 36-21 (.632) all-time in single overtime games, 7-3 (.700) in double overtime and 2-0 (1.000) in triple overtime. The Runnin’ Rebels have a record of 10-5 in overtime games at the Thomas & Mack Center and have won nine of their last 15 games overall that have been sent to overtime.

“3-POINT GOAL...”: UNLV holds the NCAA record for most consecutive games scoring a 3-point goal. Since the 3-point field goal was adopted by the NCAA in 1986-87, UNLV has converted at least one 3-pointer in all 738 games played. Entering the 2009-10 season, Vanderbilt is second, at 727 straight. In UNLV’s 738 games, the Runnin’ Rebels have made 4,872-of-13,625 (.358) shots from behind the arc. The Big West Conference experimented with the 3-point shot in the 1982-83, 1984-85 and 1985-86 seasons. During that period, UNLV connected from 3-point range in 53 of the 64 games (the 3-pointer was used in some non-conference games). The Runnin’ Rebels sank 194-of-505 (.384) 3-point attempts dur-ing that time. With the experimental years included, the UNLV streak for games in which it has made at least one 3-point shot stands at 755. The last time the Runnin’ Rebels failed to make at least one 3-pointer came against Long Beach State on Jan. 25, 1986. So, UNLV has made at least one shot from behind the arc in 791 of the 802 games in which the rule was used. In the 802 total games, the Runnin’ Rebels have shot .359 from long distance while sinking 5,066-of-14,130.

All-Millennium Team

In November of 1999, with a new millennium quickly approaching, the UNLV Athletics Department decided to let its fans vote on their favorite Runnin’ Rebel greats of the 20th century. UNLV Athletics teamed up with the FANSonly Network (now CBS College Sports) and PacifiCare/Secure Horizons of Nevada to give UNLV fans the oppor-tunity to vote for the PacifiCare Runnin’ Rebel All-Millennium Team. Voting primar-ily took place on UNLV’s official athletics website UNLVRebels.com. The election saw the best of the basketball bunch pared down to the ultimate Runnin’ Rebel squad. Five players, one from each position, were chosen from the 36 nominees provided, along with any write-in candidates. Not surprisingly, four members of the team were part of UNLV’s 1990 NCAA Champion squad. Former John Wooden Award winner Larry Johnson led all

voting and was tabbed to the

power forward spot. He was joined by center George Ackles, small forward Stacey Augmon and point guard Greg Anthony from the group that made two Final Four runs in 1990 and 1991. The final player was shooting guard “Fearless” Freddie Banks, the three-point sharpshooter who played for his own Final Four team during his career from 1983-87. In March 2000, when the team was announced, three of the five players were playing in the NBA: Johnson for the New York Knicks and Augmon and Anthony for the Portland Trail Blazers. Two members, Anthony and Banks, are from Las Vegas. The second team also included three NBA players at the time – center Keon Clark (Denver Nuggets), power forward Armon Gilliam (Utah Jazz) and small forward J.R. Rider (Atlanta Hawks). Point guard Reggie Theus and shooting guard Anderson Hunt rounded out the group. Other top vote-getters included - in alphabetical order - David Butler, Sidney Green, Shawn Marion, Eddie Owens, Sam Smith, Elmore Spencer and Mark Wade.

Opened as a satellite campus in 1957, the southern regional division of the University of Nevada became Nevada Southern University in 1965 and finally evolved into University of Nevada, Las Vegas four years later when the Board of Regents granted it autonomy under the state’s higher education system. Men’s basketball was the first sport organized at UNLV, opening play in 1958 under head coach and athletic director Michael “Chub” Drakulich. Baseball, also coached by Drakulich, started in 1960 and football came to campus nearly a decade later when head coach Bill Ireland’s squad went 8-1 in 1968. Women’s club sports such as ten-nis emerged in 1960 under administrator Alice Mason, but basketball became the first women’s varsity sport in 1974. UNLV currently sponsors seven men’s and 10 women’s athletic programs. NICKNAME The nickname “Rebels” was given to UNLV athletic teams because the school, emerging from the shadow of the University of Nevada, Reno, in effect “rebelled” against its bigger and older brother to the north. Not realized by many people, the term Runnin’ Rebels (always spelled without a "g") refers only to the men’s basketball team at UNLV. The nick-name came about prior to the 1974-75 season when the University was searching for some identity and pizzazz for its young men’s basketball program. At the time, former head coach Jerry Tarkanian was entering his second season at UNLV with a young, talented team, one that had forced him to change his coaching style during his first season in Las Vegas. His “team of thorough-breds,” as referred to by then-sports information director Dominic Clark, convinced Tarkanian to drop his zone defense and employ a fast-paced run-and-gun offense and man-to-man pressure defense. The Fab Four Freshmen of Lewis Brown, Glen Gondrezick, Eddie Owens and Jackie Robinson had proved themselves capable of running the end-to-end game after posting a record of 20-6, averaging 77.8 points per game and record-ing two games of 100-plus points. So, entering the next season, Clark decided to play upon Utah’s nick-name of the Running Utes by adopting the term Runnin’ Rebels to refer to the men’s basketball team. However, because he did not want to copy Utah completely, and the term “Running Rebels” did not sound as good, he decided to replace the ‘‘g” with an apostrophe. The decision was definitely prophetic as UNLV went on to set numerous scoring records in the 1975-76 season. That year, the Runnin’ Rebels went 29-2, averaged 110.5 points per game and tallied 23 games of 100-plus points. They also set an NCAA scoring record when they went to Hawaii-Hilo and won 164-111. In that game, UNLV made 73 of 122 field goals, while registering 26 steals. The following year, the Fab Four Freshmen were now seniors and had added the likes of Robert Smith, Sam Smith, Tony Smith and Reggie Theus. They went 29-3, made the school’s first-ever Final Four appearance, averaged 107.1 points per game and recorded 23 games of 100-plus points, including 12 in a row. It was during the 1975-76 and 1976-77 seasons that UNLV received its first real corporate involvement as McDonald’s treated Runnin’ Rebel fans to free french fries whenever they presented a game ticket from a home contest in which the Rebels reached the cen-tury mark. In those two seasons, the Rebels accomplished the feat 46 times, 32 times at home.

COLORS The school colors of Scarlet and Gray can be traced to the late-1950s when UNLV adopted as mascot a wolf wearing a Confederate uniform. Scarlet and Gray were traditional colors of the Confederacy with its gray uniforms and red-based flag.

MASCOT Today it’s Hey Reb but some at UNLV still remember the

first official Rebel mascot — Beauregard. Dressed in a gray military field jacket and Confederate cap, Beau is a fanged, winking, black and white cartoon wolf. He came to be because the new school in Southern Nevada wanted to take a little jab at the Wolf Pack mascot of Nevada, Reno. “UNLV was rebelling against the status quo and the

two school’s mascots seemed to mimic the Civil War,” said former UNLV president Don Baepler, who later directed the

Marjorie Barrick Museum of Natural History on campus. “Reno had a northern looking wolf so we wanted a Confederate wolf.” The logo lasted until the early 1970s when a group of black athletes came to Baepler, who was academic vice president at the time, and voiced its displea-sure with having a mascot that had a connection with the wrong side of the Civil War.

“They said it didn’t feel right playing for a school with such a mascot...and I agreed,” said Baepler. “Southern Nevada has no real ties to the Confederacy so the change wasn’t a big

concern.” The student senate voted on a new mascot and the human Rebel logo was born. Initially, a Colonial-like Rebel soldier was the official logo and there was talk at one time of changing UNLV’s nickname to Minutemen.

Essentially there was no recognized UNLV mascot for about a half-decade spilling into the early 1980s. Enter Mike Miller, the award-winning local graphic artist who eventually became the creator of the cartoon man with a long moustache known as Hey Reb. Miller said his inspiration for the logo was historical Nevada frontiersmen from the 1800s such as John C. Fremont and Kit Carson. "The character is supposed to be a trailblazer

of the old West," said Miller. "I just sketched out a little mountain man with a long coat that had some fringe on it."

Despite the new Rebel eventually being displayed as having striking white hair on his head and face, Miller

said Hey Reb was never supposed to be an old man and put his intended age at around 30 years old. As for the unusual name of the new character, there was no campus contest or high-priced mar-keting focus group involved.

"I just wrote Hey Reb on the back of his coat on one of the many variations I gave them," he said. "I was hoping

it would be a good slogan — a yell-out cheer at games — but it never really caught on." The mascot, however, did catch on in a big way as UNLV vaulted to the top in college apparel licensing within the decade. In 1997, a more muscular version of

Hey Reb, minus a musket, was introduced and a refreshed version was developed in 2006. Beauregard may not be prevalent at today’s UNLV athletic events but he’s certainly not gone and

forgotten. The original sketch of the wolf was converted into a mid-court painting for basketball games played in the

old University gymnasium. Today, visitors can visit the black, white, scarlet and gray logo circle in its original position at what is now the

Barrick Museum, which still uses the existing oak hardwood basketball floor to hold its exhibits.

NCAA Final Four

1986-87The 1986-87 edition of Runnin’ Rebel basketball was a special one as it became the first team to end the regular season as the nation’s top-ranked team. Led by Freddie Banks, Jarvis Basnight, Armon Gilliam, Gerald Paddio and Mark Wade, the Rebels ran through the Pacific Coast Athletic Association with a perfect record of 18-0. The team’s only regular-season loss came at Oklahoma, 89-88. UNLV entered the NCAA Tournament as the top seed in the West Region, breezing through the first three rounds. The Rebels received a big scare in the regional final when they were forced to overcome an 18-point deficit against a scrappy Iowa squad. The 84-81 triumph earned UNLV a spot in the Final Four at the Superdome in New Orleans. Banks shined in the semifinal matchup with Indiana, connecting on a tournament-record 10 3-pointers, but it was not enough as the Rebels fell to the eventual champi-ons, 97-93. The loss ended UNLV’s season with a record of 37-2. The squad was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame in 1998.

1976-77 Known as the “Hardway Eight,” this was the team that put UNLV on the map as a nation-ally prominent program. With players such as Lewis Brown, Glen Gondrezick, Larry Moffett, Eddie Owens, Robert Smith, Sam Smith, Tony Smith and Reggie Theus, the Rebels ran them-selves to a record of 29-3 and a spot in the 1977 Final Four at the Omni in Atlanta. UNLV’s record-setting team established NCAA marks for most points in one season (3,426), most 100-point games (23) and most consecutive 100-point games (12). The Runnin’ Rebels won their first-ever West Regional Championship and advanced to the national semifinals. An 84-83 loss to North Carolina in the semifinals ended the championship dreams, but a 106-94 triumph over North Carolina-Charlotte gave UNLV third place and a positive end to the season. The squad was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame in 1987.

NCAA Final Four

1989-90The season it all came together for the Runnin’ Rebels was 1989-90. Future NBA star Larry Johnson transferred from Odessa College, join-ing Greg Anthony, Stacey Augmon, David Butler and Anderson Hunt. The Rebels began the season ranked No. 1 in almost every poll and rolled through the competition. UNLV suffered a surprising loss at New Mexico State and finished the season as co-champions of the Big West Conference. However, Johnson and Co. flexed their muscles in the Big West Tournament, running away with the title and the No. 1 seed in the West Region. In NCAA Tournament play, the Rebels toughest game came in the third round at Oakland, Calif., when Ball State hung tough before falling 69-67. UNLV also ended Loyola Marymount’s cinderella season with a 131-101 thrashing in the regional final. The win set up a semifinal match with Georgia Tech at McNicholls Arena in Denver. Trailing by seven at the half, UNLV rallied for an 89-80 triumph and a date in the championship. The 1990 NCAA Championship was all UNLV as an 18-0 run midway through the second half sent Duke reeling as the Rebels ran up the most lopsided victory in championship history, 103-73. Hunt was named Most Outstanding Player at the Final Four for his performance as the Rebels finished the season 35-5. The squad was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame in 2000 and this season celebrates its 20th anniversary.

1990-91Billed as one of the greatest teams of all time, the 1990-91 squad became the first team in 12 seasons to go undefeated in the regular season (27-0). A per-fect record of 18-0 captured the Big West crown and earned the Rebels the No. 1 seed in the West Region. UNLV also flexed its muscles in a rout of then-No. 2 Arkansas in Fayetteville. The Rebels rolled through regional play with wins over Montana, Georgetown, Utah and Seton Hall before a showdown with Duke in the Final Four at the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis. Grant Hill, Bobby Hurley and Christian Laettner kept the Rebels in check all evening and ended UNLV’s dreams of back-to-back championships and the first perfect season since Indiana in 1976. The 79-77 loss ended UNLV’s season with a record of 34-1. The team was inducted into the UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame in 2002.

To describe Jerry Tarkanian in one word is "winner." Tark was hired as head coach on March 23, 1973, and in 19 seasons compiled an amazing 509-105 record. Tarkanian led the Runnin' Rebels to postseason play 14 times, including nine consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances (1983-91) with UNLV's first-ever National Championship in 1990 and back-to-back Final Fours. In 2005 the Thomas & Mack Center court was dedicated in his honor.Years Seasons W L PCT1973-92 19 509 105 .829

Charlie Spoonhour was named the 12th head coach in UNLV Runnin’ Rebel history. He turned in identical 21-11 records in his first two seasons at UNLV. The Runnin’ Rebels advanced to the second round of the NIT in his first season and lost in the NIT’s first round in his sec-ond. Spoonhour stepped down after 21 games into his third season citing health issues. His son, Jay, who was an assistant under his father, led the team the rest of the way and turned in a 6-4 mark, leading the team to the MWC Tournament’s championship game and earning a NIT bid for the third straight season.

Lon Kruger was hired as the 14th head coach in UNLV men’s basketball history (the 10th full-time head coach) in 2004. His first Runnin’ Rebel team (2004-05), recorded a 17-14 mark and advanced to the second round of the NIT, marking the program’s fourth straight trip to the postseason. In his second season, the team went 17-13 and won 10 MWC games for the first time since 1999-00. His third season was UNLV's best in 16 years as the team finished 30-7 overall, won the MWC Tournament Championship, and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament - the first time for the program since 1991. The 2006-07 Runnin' Rebels also finished the season ranked in the polls (14th in Coaches' and 19th in AP) for the first time in 14 years and recorded a 12-4 MWC mark. In Kruger's fourth season (2007-08), UNLV became the first MWC school to repeat as conference tournament champions and advanced to the NCAA Tournament's second round, losing to eventual national champion Kansas. UNLV won games in back-to-back NCAA Tournaments for the first time since 1990 and 1991 and Kruger earned the league's Coach of the Year award. In 2008-09, Kruger's Runnin' Rebels were 21-11 and were invited to the NIT for their third straight trip to the postseason. UNLV also won 20 or more games for the third straight season - a first for the UNLV program since 1990-93. From 2006-09, UNLV won 75 percent of its games by turning in a 78-26 record and recorded a 52-7 mark at home over that span. A veteran of two-plus decades as a head coach on the collegiate and professional levels, Kruger came to Las Vegas after a four-year stint in the NBA. Following 18 years as one of the nation’s most successful college coaches, Kruger spent three seasons as the head coach of the Atlanta Hawks and then part of 2003-04 on the New York Knicks coaching staff.

Legends Program

LEGENDS HAVE RETURNED TO THE THOMAS & MACK

CENTER Many of the players who were part of the UNLV men's basketball program's rise to glory have returned the last three years for the annual Legends & Friends events, which include the always popular Alumni Game. The game, which was started in 2006, has featured approximately 30 former players each year and has preceded UNLV’s exhibition game to start the season. The Fourth Annual Legends Alumni Game will be played on Nov. 10, 2009, this year following UNLV's exhibition game with Washburn. At halftime of the Washburn game, UNLV will honor its 1990 National Championship team, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Greg Anthony's jersey was retired as part of the day in 2006 and in 2007 Armon Gilliam's jersey was raised to the rafters. In 2008, UNLV honored its Final Four squads

LEGENDS & FRIENDS CLASSICSince 2006, the Legends & Friends Classic has become the traditional "tip off" to each new Runnin' Rebel basketball season. It all starts with a golf tournament and includes an alumni basketball game and UNLV's exhibition game. At halftime of the exhibition game in 2006, Greg Anthony's jersey was retired, while in 2007, it was Armon Gilliam's. In 2008 it was FOURever Runnin' Rebels as UNLV's Final Four teams were honored. This season, UNLV will celebrate the 20th anniversary of its 1990 National Championship team.

This year's event - the Fourth Annual Legends & Friends Classic - will take place Nov. 9-10.

Combining the excitement of an urban location with the charm of a tradit ional campus, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas offers students a full educational and social expe- rience.

Just decades old, UNLV has maintained a healthy rate of growth in enrollment, programs and scholastic excellence as part of the eight-component Nevada System of Higher Education. Located in the heart of one of the world’s most vibrant and dynamic cities, UNLV has matured along with the Las Vegas area. With enrollment more than doubling the last decade, the tremendous growth has meant a fl urry of construction resulting in a campus setting boasting academic and athletic facilities second to none. Steadily becoming a traditional residential university, UNLV provides on-campus housing for more than 2,000 students. A variety of student clubs and organizations along with 26 Greek organizations supplement the social development of students. From within its 15 schools and colleges, including the new William S. Boyd School of Law, UNLV is also becoming a leading research institution of the West. The school’s scientifi c, social science, and business programs attract millions of dollars in research grants annually to fund projects in desert biology, nuclear waste transportation, laser physics, public opinion surveys and many others. In addition to traditional student programs, UNLV serves diverse local, national and international communities through its Educational Outreach Division, offering Summer Term, Continuing Education and Distance Education programs enrolling more than 53,000 students annually. With its Performing Arts Center, the campus is the cultural hub of Southern Nevada. World-class orchestras and soloists, dance and theater arts combine to provide a broad selection of concerts and stage productions. The Barrick Lecture Series and several campus organizations bring noted speakers to the University, and local and visiting artists show their works in the Donna Beam Fine Art Gallery. UNLV has excellent athletic facilities as well, many open for student and public use. Opened in 1957 as the southern regional division of the University of Nevada with a total of 28 students, UNLV now is home to more than 28,000 students coming from every county in Nevada, all 50 U.S. states and 88 countries. Much of UNLV’s tremendous expansion is the result of support from the Nevada Legislature and

SEVEN INDIVIDUALS, TWO TEAMS HIGHLIGHT HALL OF FAME CLASS No less than three national championships were celebrated as part of last fall’s UNLV Athletics Hall of Fame ceremonies held on Sept. 19, 2008. Five former Rebel players (including the 17th football honoree all-time), one longtime head coach and a distinguished contributor joined two record-setting teams in being inducted. Born in 1987, UNLV’s Athletic Hall of Fame will now grow to 96 members strong. Under the hall’s bylaws, former student-athletes must have completed their eligibility at least 10 years earlier to be selected. Coaches and administrators must have stopped working at the University fi ve years previous. All classes now enter on a biennial basis. TIM BLENKIRON (1994-97) was one of the best doubles players in school history and paired up with Luke Smith to win the 1997 NCAA Doubles Championship, becoming one of six individual national champions at UNLV. The 1997 All-American was a member of three Big West Conference champion squads. JOE KRISTOSIK (1995-98) was UNLV football’s fi rst consensus fi rst team All-American after being a four-year starter as a punter for the Rebels. He turned in one of the best seasons at his position in college football history as a senior in 1998 while leading the nation with an average of 46.2, which was the second-highest in NCAA history for a punter with at least 75 attempts. KIM RONDINA (1994-97) was the greatest slugger in UNLV softball history and its only two-time conference MVP. She was named fi rst team All-America in 1995 and third team in 1996 and ‘97. Helping the Rebels to three NCAA tournament appearances, including one trip the Women’s College World Series, Rondina still holds 13 single-season and career batting records. LUKE SMITH (1994-97) stands as the only multiple NCAA champion in UNLV athletics history after winning the 1997 national title in singles and doubles. A three-time All-American, he also was a 1996 NCAA Doubles Semifi nalist. Smith was a member of the 1997 Davis Cup Team for his native Australia and twice reached the fourth round of the Australian Open in doubles.

MARIANNE VALLIN (1994-97) becomes the fi rst UNLV women’s tennis player to enter the hall of fame. A three-time conference MVP, she was All-American in singles three times after being named the ITA National Freshman of the Year. The winningest singles player in program history, she brought home the 1997 Gladys Heldman Award, which goes to the nation’s top women’s tennis student-athlete. The 1998 UNLV MEN’S GOLF TEAM is one of only two Rebel squads to earn a national championship as head coach Dwaine Knight’s team won the 1998 NCAA team title in Albuquerque, N.M. The Rebels shot a fi nal-round one-over par 289 to fi nish at 34-under-par 1,118, which set the NCAA record for lowest total in history. The 1995 UNLV WOMEN’S SOFTBALL TEAM set or tied 30 different school team records and 17 single-season marks en route to tying the record for wins with a 49-14 record. Coached by Shan McDonald, it was the fi rst UNLV softball squad to win an outright conference title and fi nished third at the Women’s College World Series. HEAD COACH AL MCDANIELS (1975-92) guided the women’s track and field program to five conference championships and produced more than 60 individual champions and 40 All-Americans. The four-time conference coach of the year produced two NCAA Champions and six league MVPs. DISTINGUISHED CONTRIBUTOR DR. JAMES CALLAWAY D.D.S. is a nationally respected dentist who has been part of the Rebel family for three decades, serving as the team dentist since 1977.
