Now in his second year leading the UNLV men’s basketball program, T.J. Otzelberger was hired as the 14th full-time head coach in Runnin’ Rebel history in March 2019. During his first season leading UNLV Athletics’ marquee program, Otzelberger put an emphasis on creating a winning culture and setting a new standard moving forward. It was all part of the Runnin’ Rebels’ new mantra that the new coach instituted upon arriving in Las Vegas: “Win At Everything. In the classroom, on the court, and in the community.”
