Shout-out of Congratulations

UNLV has just announced that they have offered their open coaching position to Dave Rice, and that Rice has accepted the offer.  An official news conference is to be held on Monday to announce Rice as the new Head Basketball Coach at UNLV.  Coach Rice who played at UNLV during their “Glory Years,” or at least during the period of time in which UNLV won a national championship and was not under NCAA investigation or sanctions, will return to his Alma Mater where he has previously served as an assistant coach.  Since 2005 Dave Rice has been with the BYU basketball program as an Assistant and Associate Coach.  Coach Rice has been an instrumental part of BYU’s program success over Coach Dave Rose’s tenure at the University, and in recruiting talented young men into the program, including young men from the Las Vegas area.  Dave Rice probably shared the excitement of the BYU basketball program's anticipated move to the WCC, but now is probably even more excited about BYU’s departure from the MWC, seeing how he will be remaining in the conference with his new team.   
Dave Rice we appreciate your part in the success of the BYU basketball program over recent years, congratulate you on your new position, and wish you the best of luck.

With Appreciation

Jake
