[Old School Hound]

I saw a list of greatest coaches back a few years ago that ranked Tark 9th greatest of all-time behind guys like Wooden, Coach  K,  Dean Smith  ,  Rupp, Knight,  Iba,  and Phog Allen. Many forget that Tark the Shark had nearly 500 coaching wins at schools OTHER than UNLV. He's not only the all-time winningest coach at Vegas but also at Long Beach St.  He won something like 65% of games in his career that were decided by six points or less. To me, winning close games is one indicator of someone who knows how to coach.
