Shark attack
Jerry Tarkanian and his battle with the NCAA and UNLV

Popularity 1
Jerry Tarkanian is the winningest coach in college basketball history-but this was not enough to save his job. The political waters at the UNLV were too deep and too infested with human sharks for him to survive. Given no choice, Jerry Tarkanian resigned, effective at the end of the 1991-1992 season. But all the questions surrounding Tarkanian's departure were never answered-some were never even asked. Until now.
