94 years old (Born on August 08, 1930)
Happy Birthday to the legendary Jerry "Tark the Shark" Tarkanian! With a career record of 706-198, your coaching stats are almost as impressive as your towel-chewing skills. Your UNLV teams didn't just win—they dazzled fans and terrified opponents with their relentless style.From leading the Runnin' Rebels to that unforgettable NCAA Championship in 1990, you've given basketball lovers countless memories (and opposing coaches plenty of headaches). May this birthday be filled with joy, laughter—and hopefully fewer nail-biting moments than those intense tournament games you coached. Keep chomping towels and celebrating victories—you'll always be our favorite shark!
