New Mexico State Gets Theus’ Replacement: New Mexico State has selected Louisville assistant coach Marvin Menzies to replace former head coach Reggies Theus, who left for the NBA last month. Menzies worked for a season at UNLV before spending the past two years with Louisville. His only head coaching experience was at Santa Monica College from 1994-95. Theus, hired by the Sacramento Kings as their new head coach, won the WAC tournament last season and led the Aggies to a 25-9 record. He also obtained an NCAA Tournament berth. Menzies reportedly beat out four other candidates, including two Aggie assistants, for the job. [7/1/07]
