Tark attorneys declare resignation void
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS—Attorneys for Jerry Tarkanian say they will go to court if the UNLV coach is not allowed to rescind his resignation and coach the Runnin' Rebels next year.
Meanwhile, a UNLV professor has joined in the call for a two-year suspension of the basketball program, a suggestion first made last week by a Las Vegas newspaper columnist.
Attorneys for the coach delivered a letter to UNLV president Robert Maxson yesterday, declaring Tarkanian's resignation of June 6, 1991, to be null and void. The resignation was to have been effective July 1, 1992, but Tarkanian told supporters Sunday night that he was withdrawing it.
The five-page letter to Maxson said
Tarkanian was coerced and pressured into signing the resignation agreement.
Both Maxson and Don Klasic, legal counsel for the Nevada University System, have said the resignation was legal and binding. Maxson has called Tarkanian's resignation a dead issue.
Attorneys Chuck Thompson and Alan Jones contend a "civility agreement," which was part of the resignation, was violated by UNLV officials. University officials have confirmed the civility agreement, but say it was violated by Tarkanian, not UNLV.
The letter charged that UNLV officials:
- intentionally distributed false negative publicity about Tarkanian to the media;
- presented Tarkanian in a false light
and demeaning manner at a secret Board of Regents meeting last year;
- provided false information to the NCAA to weaken and diminish the basketball program's ability to defend itself against the agency;
- risk organization disseminated false and fraudulent information to the Las Vegas community to embarrass Tarkanian; and
- conspired with certain regents to create circumstances to embarrass Tarkanian.
The letter contends that if Tarkanian had known of such circumstances, he would not have resigned.
It also contends that Maxson and UNLV legal counsel Brad Boakeformed Tarkanian to meet them outside the presence of his attorneys and told the coach he would be destroyed in the media if he didn't resign.
Booke said it was perfectly ridiculous to suggest Tarkanian was coerced into the resignation and said it was the coach and his followers who violated the civility agreement.
Maxson yesterday repeated previous statements that Tarkanian's resignation was legally binding, adding the matter was closed.
As the flap concerning the resignation continued, a UNLV professor called on the UNLV Faculty Senate to pass a resolution calling for a two-year suspension of the basketball program.
Jim Deacon, UNLV professor of biology and director of the school's environmental studies program, submitted the resolution, saying the furo about the high-profile basketball program had resulted in irreparable damage.
