The Wolf Pack men's basketball team has a new head coach. Reno Public Radio's Esther Ciammachilli has the story.
Eric Musselman, a two-time NBA head coach, was officially named the new head coach Thursday. The Board of Regents for the Nevada System of Higher Education approved a five-year contract worth $2 million.
Musselman spent the 2010-2011 season coaching the Bighorns in Reno; that team is part of the NBA's D-League. Since then, he's been an assistant coach for Arizona State and, most recently, the LSU Tigers, helping them make it to the NCAA tournament this season.
He's now the 18th head coach in the history of Wolf Pack men's basketball, taking the place of David Carter.
