G0d Must

  be planning a hell of a final four in Heaven. Jerry Tarkanian the Legendary coach at UNLV, has passed away at the age of  84. Tark famously known for Chewing on a towel, Brought Winning Basketball to the desert, and in some ways revolutionized the college game, in great part to the vaunted  "Amoeba Defense". Tark was a Rebel in ever sense of the word, and went through   Harrowing Hell from the NCAA over minor violations stemming primarily from " The Best that never was" Lloyd Swee pea Daniels. But in Churchill fashion " When going through Hell,  you keep going" Tark persevered and went on to win the Title in 1990  I had the good fortune of meeting the Shark in 1990 at the Preseason NIT. Sneaking down with a friend to watch  St Johns defeat Depaul at the Buzzer in the first game, we sat next to the legend, annoying him with all kinds of Trivial questions about the Rebels, prompting him to tell us in the nicest way to get lost. Kansas routed Vegas  91-77 in the second game, didn't matter Jerry Tarkanian had spoken to me.....  Dean Smith's Four corners V the Run and Gun  Buckle you're seat G0d it's gonna be a great show up there........
