UNLV icon Jerry Tarkanian, 84, dies

Was surprised to see that this hadn't been posted. That 1990 Rebels team was really fun to watch.

LAS VEGAS -- Hall of Fame coach Jerry Tarkanian, who built a basketball dynasty at UNLV but was defined more by his decades-long battle with the NCAA, died Wednesday after several years of health issues. He was 84.

Danny Tarkanian announced his father's death on Twitter.

Tarkanian had been hospitalized since Monday at Valley Hospital Medical Center for a respiratory ailment and infection. He had been rushed to the hospital by ambulance after his blood oxygen fell to dangerous levels.
