My favorite story was when I was working for a Company with a plant outside of Harrisonburg Va we went to out to our favorite Italian restaurant in town. Left Driesell who was coaching JMU at the time walked in with several players and Jerry Tarkanian in tow. They sat at the next table from us and a all of us immediately recognized the Tark and sent over a request to buy a bottle of wine to the table. When they looked up at us after the waiter pointed out who it was they looked up to see the four of us with our white linen napkins hanging out of our mouths. The wine was refused but they had a good laugh!all time great... my favorite game he ever coached was when UNLV destroyed Duke in the tourney in 1990

Tark might own an outlaw rep, but I like this story by Andy Katz about his loyalty to his past players.
For all the trash that the pretty boy schools like to talk about the Shark, his former players absolutely love him. I believe in my heart that Larry Johnson would have killed people for Tark.
