A bit of time has gone by and people forget or weren’t around when Lute Olson and Jerry Tarkanian had, shall we say, issues.
Tarkanian had coached at Long Beach and was succeeded there by Olson. Tark finished his time there with four outstanding seasons, finishing his last season at 26-3.
He moved to UNLV the following season, and Olson took over at Long Beach.
He said he had heard rumors of probation but the school assured him, apparently falsely, that this was not true.
It was, and he was not happy with Tark.
