Here’s what people are saying about the UNM Lobos hiring former UC San Diego coach Eric Olen as men’s basketball coach:

UC San Diego men's basketball coach Eric Olen is leaving the school to become coach at the University of New Mexico and will be replaced by associate head coach Clint Allard, school officials announced Sunday.

The architect of UC San Diego’s magical basketball season that came within a rimmed-out 3-pointer from taking mighty Michigan to overtime in the NCAA Tournament has been hired by New Mexico. The Union-Tribune reported Saturday that he was a finalist for the job, and the Albuquerque Journal first reported Sunday morning that he got it.

The University of New Mexico officially welcomed Eric Olen as the head coach of its men’s basketball program on Tuesday. UNM president Garnett Stokes, UNM athletic director Fernando Lovo and Olen all spoke in an introductory press conference.
