College Basketball
From Staff and Wire Reports
Dennis Finfrock, former UNLV interim athletic director, told university regents during a closed personnel session that he feared for his life if he continued to investigate the Runnin’ Rebel basketball program, according to a report in the Las Vegas Sun.
Finfrock told regents during a June 3, 1991 meeting that he received a threat from someone who suggested he “make peace” with restaurateur and booster Freddie Glusman, or he would be killed.
Finfrock also reported that he had been threatened by Richard Perry, a convicted sports fixer whose relationship with former UNLV players led to the eventual resignation of Jerry Tarkanian as coach of the basketball team.
