Tar Kumian attacks Mcaa in court in Effort to retain univ Cage reins by John m. Willis Las vegas a coach Jerry tar kanian moved from the basketball court to a court of Law monday launching a High powered offensive attack on the Mcaa in an Effort to keep his Post at the University of Nevada Las vegas. Univ president or. Donald Baepler suspended Tarkanian earlier this month at the recommendation of the National collegiate athletic association. The suspension was part of a two year probation slapped on the univ basketball program for numerous alleged violations of Mcaa bylaws. Baepler explained that he had no Choice in the matter suspend Tarkanian or face a stiffer sentence from the Mcaa. Tarkanian immediately obtained a temporary restraining order prohibiting the University from enforcing the suspension and he was in court monday to get a per manent injunction. The basics of Tarkanian s arguments Are that his rights to due process were Vio lated by the tactics used by Mcaa investigators. One investigator in particular. David Berst was grilled in absent a monday by Tarkanian s attorney Sam Lionel. Lionel accused Berst of making false statements about Tarkanian before the Mcaa committee on infractions. He also questioned Berst s methods and motivation in the Case accusing Berst of using Jerry Tarkanian. Claims Lack of due process threats to coerce statements against Tark the  after a full Day of trial Clark county District court judge James Brennan re tired with the Case saying he will Render a decision at 1 30 . Friday. No matter which Way Brennan rules the Case will be appealed to the Nevada us n. Y. Hockey vet Gilbert is ready to be traded new York a we re running a business Here said new York rangers general manager John Ferguson whose hard business decision has made longtime Ranger Star Rod Gilbert unhappy enough to ask to be traded. I want to play three to five More years the 36-year-old Gilbert told the associated press sunday night. If i Don t figure Here. Fine. Let me play some  the rift Between Gilbert and Ferguson involves the popular right Wing s contract. He is working on the final year of a Long term agreement that includes two option years. Looking for Security Gilbert wants Browns tip pats on overtime Fig continued from Page 21 Back Don Calhoun. Smith later added a 35 Yard Field goal. With 11 18 left in the third period the patriots were called for offensive pass inter Ference when Thorn Darden broke up a Grogan pass intended for Francis. The patriots were assessed a penalty placing the Ball on the Browns 46. On the following play Cleveland was called for an illegal formation. Three seconds later the Browns Mike St. Clair sacked Grogan on the patriots 40. After a punt Sipe hit Parris with a 26 Yard to pass to move the Browns to within 17-14 with just Over seven minutes left in the third period ending a six play 54-Yard drive. Those options years guaranteed. Thinking of the team s Success Ferguson wants to wait until Gilbert finishes the 1977-78 Campaign before signing him up for another year or two. I told him. If you have a Good year certainly we d have to consider extending the agreement " said Ferguson. Gilbert feels betrayed by the team he has served so Well for 16 seasons including last year when he was the rangers second leading scorer with 27 goals and 48 assists. The final Straw apparently came when Gilbert was left off the rangers travelling squad for a National hockey league exhibition game in Hershey pa., last weekend. Gilbert is afraid hell be relegated to an obscure position on the club. If you play four or five games and then you get a rest that s Okay Gilbert said. I was ready to have a Good Start and that really broke my spirit. " preme  the most damaging testimony against the Mcaa and its procedures came from two attorneys who investigated the charges for univ Lyle Rivera Deputy attorney general for the state of Nevada and Michael Leavitt a local attorney. Both men said the Mcaa allegations against Tarkanian Are not substantiated by evidence and that indeed the Mcaa investigators produced no evidence to sup port the charges. There was never any competent Legal evidence submitted by the Mcaa investigators Rivera said. They had no Evi Dence other than an investigator orally discussing the  you can t take away people s rights unless you have abundant evidence. Lionel argued. I almost wonder whether we re in the 20th Century or  meanwhile the investigation by the at Torney general s office found no substance to any of the charges against Tarkanian. Rivera said thousands of hours were spent on the probe by the University but that the Mcaa frustrated his attempts to prepare a defense for the University by not giving him guidelines in making his Case. Rivera said the Mcaa s action of not let Ting univ know what rules to go by Cre ated an absolutely impossible situation  part of Tarkanian s defense against the suspension was an offensive weapon called the Pink file.1 the Pink file was produced by Leav itt and details the alleged improprieties used by Mcaa investigators in getting in formation about Tarkanian and the univer sity. In addition to statements against the University Lionel said the threats used to obtain the right answers to questions about Tarkanian included alleged com ments by Berst that Tarkanian exploited Black athletes. In his final arguments Lionel argued that the Mcaa in effect is denying Tarka Nian the right to  he also argued that the suspension would Cost Tarkanian dearly in the pocket Book and he produced some evidence in that direction. Under the terms of the suspension tar kanian would still get his University salary but he would probably lose some outside income from being reassigned to other duties besides basketball coaching. The sales manager of a local television station testified that the Jerry Tarkanian show would be no More if Tarkanian is forced to step Down and the executive sports editor of a local newspaper also testified that Tarkanian s biweekly column would be dropped if Tarkanian ceased being the univ coach.
