He guided the squad to the 2012 NCAA Tournament, one of only four first-year coaches in the country to do so. He also led the team to wins over three top-25 teams, including a victory over then-no. 1 North Carolina, which was the program's first win over the nation's top-ranked team in 22 years and the first time a Mountain West school has ever defeated the No. 1 team in both polls. The Runnin' Rebels were ranked for 13 straight weeks (14 overall), climbing as high as No. 11 in the country last season.

In addition, UNLV's preseason rankings this year were its highest since it began the season as the nation's top-ranked team in both polls. UNLV has been ranked each week of this season and is currently No. 21 in the AP poll and No. 18 in the Coaches'. 20 straight weeks in the rankings UNLV has been ranked in the AP poll for 20 consecutive weeks and in the Coaches' poll for 21 of the last 24 weeks. The 20 straight weeks in the AP poll is the 11thlongest current streak by any team. This is the fourth straight year the MW has had three teams ranked at the same time at some point during the season. The MW has had one team ranked in both polls for 21 straight weeks and two teams listed in the AP poll for 19 straight weeks. Two MW teams have been ranked in the Coaches' poll 18 of the last 19 weeks. The MW is one of three conferences (Big Ten 6; Big East 5) to have at least three teams listed by both panels. mountain west off to a tremendous start Through games of December 16, Mountain West teams still boast the nation's best collective win percentage. MW squads are against non-conference opponents for a.793 win percentage. Seven of the MW's 18 losses have been to teams that were or are currently ranked (Texas, Syracuse, Michigan State, Colorado, Wichita State).
