UNLV’s men’s basketball team announced the return of a legend Wednesday, welcoming Stacey Augmon as its new director of community engagement.

Augmon will focus on alumni relationships, fundraising, player mentorship and recruiting in his role on coach Josh Pastner’s staff.

Augmon, 56, is considered one of the greatest players in program history. He reached two Final Fours during his four years at UNLV and played a key role in the team’s 1990 national championship.

“I am thrilled to return to UNLV and will do anything I can to help our program,” Augmon said in a statement. “I am committed to connecting with alumni and working closely with our community and university. I look forward to collaborating with (athletic director) Erick Harper, Coach Pastner, and the rest of the staff, and to being a mentor to the young men we have in our program.”
