    FRESNO/CLOVIS - The Charlie Keyan Armenian Community School recently
    greeted legendary college basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian, who met
    with students and toured the campus.

    `I thought this would be a great opportunity for the students to meet
    a great Armenian sports figure,' said CKACS Principal Sophie
    Mekhitarian, who had invited Tarkanian to visit the school. `It was
    also a chance for him to check-out our new basketball courts.'

    For 19 seasons (1973-1992), `Tark the Shark' coached the UNLV Running
    Rebels basketball squad, winning the NCAA National Championship in
    1990. From 1995 to 2002, he led the Fresno State Bulldogs to six 20-
    win seasons and two NCAA tournament appearances. Tarkanian ranks among
    the all-time NCAA coaches in victories and winning-percentage.

    The CKACS basketball courts were installed earlier this year with
    funding from the Lincy Foundation.
