He put the run in the Runnin’ Rebels.
He changed how the game was played.
Jerry Tarkanian was a Hall of Fame basketball coach who more than anyone else grew and promoted the national brand of UNLV.
Tarkanian died at age 84 on Feb. 11, succumbing at Valley Hospital Medical Center to respiratory and cardiac failure.
UNLV advanced to four Final Fours under Tarkanian and won the national championship in 1990. His family remembered him along with friends and former players and fans at a heartwarming service at the Thomas & Mack Center.
