Hey guys. I am suppose to talk to the coach this Thursday, but might be backed up. I am suppose to do the interview to publicize his book. I will take all and any real questions for the coach.

Wow, I would LOVE to have a sitdown with the Tark but many of my questions would not be politically correct.

When did he start chewing on a towell?

Was Reggie Theus the best player he ever coached?

How did they lose to Duke?

Were you outcoached by Dean Smith in the NCAA semifinal back in 1977, blowing ahuge lead....the list goes on and on.

Did he ever have to worry about his players gambling on games....don't think UNLV was ever lined when he was coach, but other games, the campus is so close to the strip, what instructions did he have to give?

My claim to fame..LOL..is i was the team manger for the UNLV running rebels in 79 to 81......one of my duties was to make sure his famous towel was folded right and had the right amount of water on it as he sucked it...And believe me there were sometime I wanted to piss on it before giving it to him.

I always asked wondered what happened to one of my favorite assistant coaches REX Huges...ask him were old rex is today.....

Ask if he got to watch the filming of Sarah Jessica Parker's bikini scenes while shooting 'Honeymoon in Vegas' with her.

Does he still suck the towel when watching games on TV or was it just a head coach thing

Ask Jerry if he agrees that it is total bs that a clown like calhoun is in the basketball hall of fame and he isn"t. Ask him if he ever had more fun than winning three cal state jc titles in a row at riverside and pasadena city colleges.
Ask him about getting screwed by the refs vs UCLA in 1972 when he had his greatest team with four nba guys there at LongBeach St. That team was better than any of his vegas teams-they just ran into a crooked crew that helped Wickes/Rowe win.

Ask him if he thinks athletes should be paid.

What was the most he ever paid a player.

Who was the best player he ever coached, and what player stood out,that did not live up to his potential?

Why did he fail as an NBA coach?

Coaching in Las Vegas, was it a detrement, was it any different then his other stops, being the gambling capital of the USA.

What does he do with his time now?

Which coach was the toughest coach he faced?

I only so much about Jerry, but he paid players? If anyone could explain would appreciate it.

The Running Rebels were the most controversial team in NCAA basketball for most of his career there, he was always under heavy scrutiny by the NCAA.

I wouldn't ask him that question, I don't think it would go over too well....You could ask him indirectly, if he felt the NCAA unfairly treated him.

The whole paying players, corruption ,violations would probably be better off avoided.
