Runnin' Rebels Part Ways with Head Coach Kevin Kruger After Four Seasons
March 15, 2025 - 20:47
In a significant move for the program, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) has announced the dismissal of head coach Kevin Kruger after four seasons at the helm. This decision comes in the wake of a disappointing performance that has seen the Runnin' Rebels fail to qualify for the NCAA tournament since 2013.
Under Kruger’s leadership, the team struggled to find consistent success, culminating in a season that fell short of expectations. The program's inability to secure a spot in the postseason has raised concerns among fans and stakeholders about the direction of the team.
Kruger, who took over the head coaching position in 2020, aimed to revitalize a storied basketball program but faced numerous challenges, including injuries and roster turnover. As UNLV embarks on a search for a new head coach, the focus will be on finding a leader capable of restoring the team’s competitive edge and returning the Runnin' Rebels to national prominence.
