Coach Tark, my father, the greatest man I have ever known, passed today, to take his place in heaven. I will miss him every day of my life.

Was UNLV fan as a kid, lucky to befriend Jerry Tarkanian as an adult. Loved anti-establishment way and role in integration. Made game fun

HOF coach & great friend Jerry Tarkanian has passed away. We've lost two icons in the same week. Sad week for all who love this great game.
