Rob Jeter, former UWM Panthers head coach, named assistant at UNLV

LAS VEGAS -- Former University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee basketball coach Rob Jeter is back in the game.

Jeter is now an assistant coach at UNLV.

Dismissed after this past season with the Panthers, Jeter will bring a real degree of professionalism and experience to the Running Rebels bench at a time when the program could use as much of those things as it could find.

Through an unusual set of circumstances, the school is now on its fourth head coach over the last calendar year, so the steady presence of Jeter would seem to be very welcome.
