UNLV Hires Stanford's La Rocque As Women's Basketball Coach

LAS VEGAS (AP) — UNLV has hired former Stanford assistant and player Lindy La Rocque as its next women's basketball coach.

The school announced La Rocque will replace Kathy Oliver, who resigned on March 6 after the Rebels failed to make the NCAA Tournament for the 12th straight season.

La Rocque is a Las Vegas native who played at Durango High School before going on to make four straight Final Four appearances with Stanford, including a trip to the national title game in 2010.
