Larry Brown has been in touch with UNLV athletic director Jim Livengood about the Running Rebels coaching vacancy, the former Charlotte Bobcats coach told SI.com on Saturday.
Brown, 70, was fired by the Bobcats in December.
UNLV released a statement Friday that interviews were complete. The Las Vegas Sun has indicated Brown is not a serious candidate. The job is expected to go to either Dave Rice or Reggie Theus, the Sun has indicated.
