Jerry Tarkanian's Basketball Hall of Fame Enshrinement Speech
He helped a school, UNLV, the Running Rebels go back to playing basketball
when the school was trying to make it a no basketball school. This was in Las Vegas,
NV. Jerry Tarkanian did not want that to happen at all and he was not happy. He
taught his team how to be really stealthy, like a shark is. He has the nickname, “Tark
the Shark”. Now there is a place named after Jerry Tarkanian where kids play their
basketball games. I get to play there every Saturday with my team, The Panthers.

He made his team play man-to-man defense and when they had the ball they ran
down the court faster. This made it so the other team could not block and Jerry
Tarkanian’s team could get more points. He is the one who started that plan for
basketball that most people use now.
