Guest: Lindy La Rocque, UNLV Basketball Head Coach UNLV head coach Lindy La Rocque joins the Basketball Podcast to share insights on offensive efficiency and scout-based defense. Lindy La Rocque's 72-19 (.791) coaching record was the eighth-best record all-time, by winning percentage, by a Division I coach after three seasons.
La Rocque was voted the 2023 Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year, her second time winning the honor in three seasons. She guided the Lady Rebels to a program-record 31 wins during the 2022-23 season and repeated as Mountain West Conference regular-season and tournament champions. UNLV appeared in consecutive NCAA Championships for the first time since going to three straight from 1989 to 1991.
UNLV finished the 2022-23 season with Division I’s third-highest winning percentage (.912) behind only South Carolina (.973) and LSU (.944). Only these three teams won 90 percent of their games. The Lady Rebels maintained a 24-game winning streak (Division I's longest) against conference foes and a 23-game home-winning streak (Division I's second-longest).
