Tiger Woods is shutting his game down. Here & Now sports analyst Mike Pesca joins host Robin Young to discuss the golfer’s decision, as well as remember two legendary college basketball coaches, Dean Smith and Jerry Tarkanian.

Smith and Tarkanian coached against each other and died just days apart. Smith won two NCAA titles at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Tarkanian won one at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
