UNLV Lady Rebels Extend Head Coach Lindy La Rocque

The UNLV Lady Rebels have extended their head coach, Lindy La Rocque, for five more years. She is now locked up for the remainder of the decade and is under contract until 2030. Both Interim President Chris Heavey and Director of Athletics Erick Harper announced the extension on Tuesday.

During her time in Las Vegas, La Rocque has gone 128 - 30 and has been named the Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year three times. She has led the Lady Rebs to four-straight regular season conference championships and has won three consecutive Mountain West Tournaments before getting upset in the second round last season. She has been an incredible success at UNLV, and this extension is a huge win for the school and the women's basketball program.

"Coach La Roque is one of UNLV's most veteran and winningest coaches, and I am thrilled to continue our partnership with her as she continues to build on the tangible momentum of our women's basketball program."
