Sounds Like the Same Old Tarkanian
Jerry Tarkanian’s return to college basketball and his alma mater, Fresno State, came as a result of a popular uprising, and nowhere was it more popular than in the city of Fresno.
Three days after Gary Colson resigned as coach, Tarkanian made a speech in Fresno, where, he noted, he drew more people than Ronald Reagan two years before.
Tarkanian is of Armenian descent, and Fresno has a heavy concentration of people with Armenian ancestry. “Hire Tark” bumper stickers appeared all over town.
“It wasn’t just the phone calls,” Fresno State President Dr. John Welty told the New York Times’ Tom Friend. “It was also the wonders of fax machines, voice mail and E-mail.”

Outside Observers Validate Armenian Election
