A controversial, but in many ways a great coach. But alas, he won’t be on the same level as the late Dean Smith, though.

I was wondering about The Shark just a couple of days ago, wondering if he was still alive, but never got around to looking it up. His UNLV Rebels were a big menace to my Seattle U then-Chieftains back in the 70s and 80s (I forget the exact years he was at UNLV). RIP

He nailed the NCAA with this quote, “The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky, it's going to give Cleveland State two more years’ probation.”

Tark was the head coach when I was at Long Beach State.

Masterful recruiter, as LB State went from an average College Division school in 1968 to nearly going to the Final Four in 1971.

I see some of his ex-players at the LB State games.

Do famous College basketball coaches die in sets of three?

May he rest in peace.

However, his program was total garbage.

of his national championship squad; one converted to Islam; one was arrested for solicitation of a prostitute; and one refused to answer questions concerning sexual accusation while in the NBA.

His program was a "win at all costs" - "recruit from any ghetto possible" - "ignore all ethics" program. He was one of the ultimate dirtballs in college basketball history.
