UNLV hires former Georgia Tech coach Josh Pastner as their new head basketball coach.

UNLV is set to hire former Georgia Tech and Memphis coach Josh Pastner as their new head coach, according to multiple reports. Pastner, 47, was fired by Georgia Tech in 2023 after consecutive losing seasons but has a strong coaching record overall. UNLV hopes Pastner can lead the team back to the NCAA Tournament, which they haven't reached since 2013. Pastner's five-year contract was reportedly accepted recently.
