ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- New Mexico is looking to fill its men's basketball head coaching vacancy as soon as possible but Lobos athletic director Paul Krebs is not providing any names of potential candidates or a specific hiring timeline.
"I know there are probably a lot of names," Krebs said of a replacement for Craig Neal, who was fired late Friday night after four years at the school. "The best way to conduct a search is to do it in as quiet a way as possible. You don't want to lose candidates. You don't want people who may have current jobs to pull themselves out of availability because it compromises their position if their name gets out.
