Tark Has His Day: More than a dozen years after former UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian walked off the school’s court for the last time, the Runnin Rebels honored Tarkanian during the team’s loss to Nevada Saturday by naming the court in his honor — the Jerry Tarkanian Court at the Thomas and Mack Center. Tarkanian coached the Rebels for 19 years and compiled a 509-195 record, which included one national championship and four Final Four appearances. Although he guided the Rebels to their most successful period in history, he also drew the ire of the NCAA for various violations and infractions. He left the program in 1992 despite leading the team to a 25-2 record. That squad was banned from post-season play. Tarkanian went on to coach Fresno State for several years, finishing a career record of 729 wins, which is 12th best all-time.

"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
