Stanback arrested on suspicion of DUI

[AztecMyke]

The honeymoon period for new UNLV head coach Dave Rice is over.

Chace Stanback was arrested Friday in Las Vegas on suspicion of DUI. Stanback was in Vegas for the start of summer classes.

“We do know that there was an incident, and we are trying to determine what happened and what transpired,” Rice said Monday morning, according to the Las Vegas Sun.

Stanback is the leading returning scorer and rebounder for the Runnin’ Rebels, who lose guards Tre’Von Willis and Derrick Jasper from last year’s NCAA tournament team.

The 6-foot-8 small forward averaged 13.0 points and 5.9 rebounds last season. He began his career at UCLA, but transferred to UNLV following his freshman campaign in Los Angeles.

Rice took over at head coach for the Rebels after Lon Kruger left in early April for Oklahoma. He had previously been the associate coach at BYU, joining the Cougars' staff in 2005. Prior to that, he was an assistant coach at UNLV, serving under four different head coaches.

His disciplinary tactics will be tested with Stanback, who was suspended for one game last season for academic reasons.

This should be interesting. Assaulting a female didn't merit much of a suspension under the Kruger regime, we'll see what happens under Rose.

Willis had to miss two exhibition games and a game against UC-Riverside for "allegedly" strangling, felony grand larceny, and misdemeanor coercion of his girlfriend.

IIRC, she only had a black eye. If Willis had broken a few bones, he would have gotten something really severe, like a four game suspension.

Stanback has to be one of the most overrated HS players ever. And to think I was disappointed he chose UNLV over us.

What did Fisher do to R.Williams here. Hope our coaches use it as a teaching moment

Rice has been in the past a pretty good disciplinarian if I remember correctly.

I checked and my recollection was correct. Richie was suspended for the exhibition against Pt. Loma and then for the first three real games. We didn't lose any of them but if I also recall correctly, Richie wasn't allowed to practice with the team until off suspension so he then just came off the bench for awhile. In game four, we beat our little brother up the hill even though he didn't do much but then lost at Cal as Richie didn't play very well. Whether his rustiness cost us that game I can't say but it sure didn't help.

The run we have had against the Rebs has drove them all to drinking. He had a nice semifinal against us. Other than that he has been a bust.

One of the posters on the rebel board questioned what Stanback was doing driving a 2010 Mercedes. Not surprisingly, that has not gone over well.

And well it shouldn't.

Why the hell wasn't he driving a 2011 Benz?
