The process should be smoother this time, and the votes appear to be there.
So don’t expect much drama Friday when the University of Nevada Board of Regents debate and vote on new UNLV basketball coach Marvin Menzies’ five-year contract.
The regents passed Chris Beard’s contract on a 9-4 vote, which ended an 11-day process from when he agreed to take the job until approved by the board.
After Beard left a week later for Texas Tech, UNLV agreed to terms with Menzies on Saturday. The contract was submitted to the system office Monday and posted online that day.
