Former UNLV coach Marvin Menzies was officially announced as the head coach at the University of Missouri-Kansas City Tuesday.

Menzies spent three seasons in the same role at UNLV. Hired in 2016 after a successful nine-year stint with New Mexico State, he led the Rebels to a 48-48 record during his tenure.

Menzies most recently served as the associate head coach at Grand Canyon University as part of Dan Majerle’s coaching staff during the 2019-20 season.
