LAS VEGAS (AP) — UNLV women’s basketball coach Lindy La Rocque might be the exception as the coach who stays at a mid-major even if Power Five athletic directors try to lure her away. La Rocque is in her third season at UNLV and keeps taking the program up a step each year. The Lady Rebels went 15-9 in her first season, turning around a team that was 13-17 the previous year. Last season, La Rocque guided the Lady Rebels to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 20 years. This season, they are repeat Mountain West champions with a 25-2 record and ranked at No. 24 in the AP poll.
