    Former UNLV basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian was wrapping up an 11-day stay in a San Diego-area hospital after suffering artery blockages and having a pacemaker installed.

    The 82-year-old coach's son, Danny Tarkanian, told The Associated Press his father was set to leave Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla on Wednesday. He planned to return to his San Diego-area condominium, a part-time home where he receives in-house nursing care.

    "He's doing well and we're glad to get him back home," said the younger Tarkanian.

    In addition to the pacemaker, the former coach had some stents put in, his son said.

    The stay marked the latest in a spate of hospitalizations in recent years for Tarkanian.
