Runnin' Rebel Shark Tales of "Extra Benefits," Frank Sinatra, and Winning It All

Runnin' Rebel tells the full story behind Tarkanian's many battles with the NCAA, often brought on by his criticism of the organization's blatant hypocrisy; his penchant for giving players he recruited a second chance, and his willingness to forgive player indiscretions when he thought it was justified. While the NCAA looked the other way at other big-name coaches and programs, Tarkanian firmly believes they overly scrutinized him as a punishment for his words about them. Despite all that, his players loved him (including the 42 who were drafted by NBA teams), the fans faithfully cheered him, and some of his achievements in college basketball may never be matches. He offers an entertaining "tell-all" about his spectacular career.Tarkanian, Jerry is the author of 'Runnin' Rebel Shark Tales of "Extra Benefits," Frank Sinatra, and Winning It All', published 2005 under ISBN 9781596700185 and ISBN 1596700181.
