The point is: He was a very good coach, but he also ran with some shady figures, namely a sports promoter named Vic Weiss. Weiss was a gambler, he ran with the mob, and on the side, he acted as Tarkanian’s agent as a favor to Tarkanian (there’s probably no point in getting into the fact that Tarkanian’s unofficial “agent” was a degenerate gambler because this story is shady enough).
As depicted in Winning Time, Weiss was at the table with Jerry Tarkanian and Jerry Buss negotiating a deal to make Tarkanian the new head coach (this actually happened around the time that Magic was being drafted, while Jack Kent Cooke was still transitioning out as owner — in fact, in real life, Cooke was also at that table). The details were scribbled out on a napkin, and after the dinner, everyone went home assuming that Tarkanian would become the new head coach. Tarkanian awaited a phone call from Weiss to iron out the contract. However, that phone call never arrived. Three days later, Weiss was found in a parking garage in the trunk of his own Rolls Royce with two bullet holes through his head.
The murder still remains unsolved, although investigators believe they know the motive. Weiss not only had $60,000 in gambling debts but he was apparently skimming off the top of laundered money he was delivering to mobsters in Vegas. I’ve watched enough Scorcese movies to understand that stealing from the mob is never a good idea.
Police spent years investigating the murder, only to see other potential suspects wind up dead themselves (Cooke, Buss, and Tarkanian were quickly eliminated as suspects, in case you were wondering). Someone inside the police force leaked details to the mob about the investigation making it even more difficult. Some believe that the men who killed Weiss were themselves killed in order to maintain the mob’s silence.
In any case, the death of Weiss left Tarkanian shook for obvious reasons. The Lakers ceased negotiations, and soon thereafter hired another coach (which will be covered in next week’s episode).
