Rice Basketball is in the market for a new head coach after moving on from Scott Pera. Who might the Owls target for the job?
Following an 11-21 season, Scott Pera is out as the head coach of Rice Basketball. This decision doesn’t come as a surprise to many and likely has been in the cards for some time now, giving athletic director Tommy McClelland ample time to begin mentally preparing a shortlist of potential targets. Who might the Owls tap to be the next head man on the court?
McClelland was adamant Rice basketball had a bright future ahead of it. “Talent is not an issue. We can get them here and we can win here,” he said, pointing toward recent successes like Quincy Olivari as well as NBA players who came from Rice like Trey Murphy and Drew Peterson. “I want to win,” he declared, making his intentions crystal clear.
