1982 UNLV SUMMER OUTLOOK
With seven lettermen returning, including three starters
from last year's 20-10 sqaa~ that advanced to the second round
of the 1982 National Invitation Tournament, UNLV head basketball
coach Jerry Tarkanian looks to the upcoming collegiate season with
optimism.
Pacing UNLV into its first year of Pacific Coast Athletic
Association action will be returning starters--6-6 senior Larry
Anderson from Pittsburgh, Pa.,a three-year starter who led the team
in scoring last year; 6-9 senior Sidney Green , another three-year
starter from New York City who was No. l in rebounding and No. 2
in scoring in 1981-82 and 6-2 junior Danny Tarkanian from Las Vegas,
son of head coach Jerry Tarkanian.
Last season, Anderson averaged 17.2 points, started all 30 games
and led the team in minutes played with 1,050. For those efforts, he
earned Sporting NewsHonorable Mention All America and Basketball
Weekly Honorable Mention All West Coast.
Green last season averaged 16.7 points and 9.0 rebounds. For
those numbers, he earned AP and Sporting News Honorable Mention All
America and Basketball Weekly Honorable Mention All West Coast. For
all three seasons at UNLV, Green has been awarded Honorable Mention
All America.
Tarkanian in 1981-82 averaged 5.4 points and 1.8 rebounds, while
credited with 57 steals and a school record 262 assists. He earned Sporting
News Honorable Mention All America and Basketball Weekly second team
All Junior College Transfer squad. In 1980-81, Tark played at Dixie College
in St. George, Utah.
Supporting that cast will be four other returning lettermen, led by
6-8 junior Richie Adams, from New York City, who last season started
14 games and got 7.5 points and 4.7 rebounds a game.
The other returning lettermen are--6-9 senior Ken Lyles, who just
recently underwent right knee surgery; 5-5 soph guard Leroy Byrd and 6-9
senior John Copeland, who was redshirted in 1981-82.
Easing the pain of the departure of two starters and top reserve-starters 6-6 Richard Box and 6-8 Michael Johnson and 6-4 Dwayne Polee-are Tark's new recruits, two transfers and three incoming freshmen.
The transfers are 6-10 junior center Paul Brozovich, who sat out
last season at Saddleback Community College after playing two years
(1979-81) at Pitt and 6-2 junior guard Jeff Collins. Collins was a twoyear starter at Arizona who transferred to UNLV last January. He will be
eligible to play second semester of the 1982-83 campaign.
The three incoming frosh are --6-6 Eldridge Hudson, considered
by many prep experts to be the best high school forward in the country
last year; 6-4 Gary Graham and 6-11 Georg Posti.
Hudson was the 198 2 Los Angeles Player of the Year and led his Carson ,
Calif . sqaud to a 26-2 mark and the Cali -

UNLV HEAD BASKETBALL COACH
W.
UJii
Winning is something that Jerry Tarkanian, UNLV's head basketball coach, has done
since he began his college coaching career at Pasadena City College 21 years ago. He
I
is the winningest active major college basketball coach in America and is the third
winningest coach overall.
Tarkanian's nine year record at UNLV is 202-63
(.762) and has reached the 20-win
plateau thirtee n out of the last fourteen years.
Include in that total Tark's seven
I
year stint in the junior college ranks and he has won 20 or more in 19 of 21 seasons.
Tarkanian's teams have finished as high as No. 3 in the nation. The 1976-77 team
[
placed third in the NCAA Tournament and that same team set three regular season NCAA
.
records including most games over 100 points, most consecutive games scored over 100
points and highest free throw percentage in a game. The Rebels also set three NCAA
I
Tournament records and three NCAA consolation c.: 1ampionship game records.
'
Tark's squads have also appeared in the NIT twice. In 1981-82, the Rebels beat
Murray State in the opening round 87-61, but lost to Tulane in the second round 56-51.
In 1980, UNLV's first time at the NIT, the Rebels reached the Final Four, losing to the
eventual winner, Virginia. Overall, Tarkanian's NIT mark is 4-3.
While at UNLV, Tark has coached five active NBA players including Ricky Sobers and
Reggie Theus of the Chicago Bulls, Glen Gondrezick of the Denver Nuggets, Robert Smith
of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Brent Vroman of the Utah Jazz.
A native of Euclid, Ohio, Tarkanian attended Pasadena City College before gradua ting !
from Fresno State in 1955. He received his Master's degree from Redlands University in
1960.
Tarkanian and his wife, Lois, reside with their four children - Pamela, Jodie, Danny·
and George in Las Vegas.

MICHAEL 'SPIDERMAN' BURNS ONLY PLAYER TAKEN IN 1982 NBA DRAFT
Michael 'Spiderman' Burns, a 6-6, three-year letterman from Las Vegas' Chaparral High
School who only played seven games of the 1981-82 season, was the only UNLV player chosen
in the 1982 NBA draft--going in the eighth round to the Chicago Bulls.
Burns, who will join fellow UNLV alumni Reggie Theus and Ricky Sobers with the Bulls,
played only the first seven games of the 1981-82 and missed the rest of the year due to
academic reasons.
In 1981-82, Burns averaged 11.0 points and 5.7 rebounds and was credited
with eight assists, three blocked shots and 11 steals in 171 minutes of playing time.
He
started all seven games and his high for 1981-82 was 18 pmints at Brigham Young.
Burns was a starter throughout most of his UNLV career and lettered from 1978-81. He
was a co-captain in 1980-81.
He holds two school individual game records--most assists (18, vs. Hawaii, 2-21-81)
and most steals (6, vs. Cal St.-Northridge,
