Attorneys for basketball Coach Jerry Tarkanian of Nevada Las Vegas have asked the Nevada Supreme Court to uphold a 12-year-old injunction that bars UNLV from suspending Tarkanian.
The National Collegiate Athletic Assn. asked earlier this month that the state high court order the District Court to vacate the injunction, which has prohibited UNLV from suspending Tarkanian.
Tarkanian claimed that his rights to due process were violated when he was ordered suspended from coaching for alleged recruiting violations in 1977.
The NCAA won a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in December that it did not have to provide coaches due process.
