LAS VEGAS—UNLV is welcoming former NBA player and Denver Nuggets assistant coach Stacey Augmon as its new men’s assistant basketball coach.
The announcement Tuesday came a month after Dave Rice was named the team’s new coach.
Augmon played for UNLV from 1987 through 1991.
He earned a degree in social work and went on to play for Atlanta, Detroit, Portland, Charlotte and Orlando during his 15-year NBA career.
Most recently, he worked for the Nuggets for four seasons.
Rice says he is excited to have another former Rebel join the coaching staff.
Rice and Augmon were teammates on the 1990 NCAA championship team and 1991 Final Four team.
Former head coach Lon Kruger left UNLV following seven seasons to become Oklahoma’s new coach in April.
