What a great few years he had at UNVL with LJ, Augmon, Anthony, etc. It's too bad his stint in SA didn't last longer.

Bummer I saw yesterday he was kind of listed as minute to minute as he was really having some issues. Another huge loss for the basketball community. Thats 2 in a week and both true legends of the game.

Rip Shark. His 1990-91 UnLV RR teams were the best college Bball teams I've ever watched.

Rest in Peace..
Man those UNLV teams of his were fun to watch... Runnin' Rebels for sure. Nicce Title in '90 and probably should have got it in '91 too.
Back in '87 I still couldn't believe they came back against Iowa in the NCAA tournament.
Again he had some fun UNLV teams. Chewing that towell on the sidelines was always something to look for.
RIP Tark
