Letter: UNLV has a Good coach
Friday, Jan. 5, 2001 | 9:09 a.m.
What is it that makes you guys write columns that make it seem that it's a foregone conclusion that UNLV is in the market for a basketball coach?
In listening to the press conference announcing the firing of Bill Bayno and the promotion of Max Good, (UNLV athletic director) Charlie Cavagnaro made it abundantly clear (at least to some of us) that there wasn't an "interim" preceding Good's title of head coach.
I happen to think very highly of Coach Good as a person and as a coach. So do the players. So do the recruits. If Max Good is canned after the season, UNLV stands to lose all its recruits, as well as a large portion of the eligible returnees.
Why don't you guys do everyone a favor and back off on the "new coach sweepstakes." By the time the season is over, it may very well be clear that the best man for the job is the one who already has it.
