Head Coach: Steve Lavin
Experience at St. John’s: 1st Season
Biography: Lavin, (born September 4, 1964), a San Francisco native, was hired as the men’s basketball coach at St. John’s University on March 30, 2010. As UCLA head basketball coach from 1996–2003, Lavin compiled a record of 145-78. In his inaugural season as head coach, Lavin directed the Bruins to the 1997 Pac-10 Championship and the NCAA Elite Eight with an overall record of 24-8. As both an assistant and head coach, Lavin participated in 13 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances (1990–2002), while working at Purdue University and UCLA.

During Lavin’s tenure as a head coach, he was one of only two coaches in the country, along with Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, to lead his team to five NCAA “Sweet 16s” in six years (‘02, ‘01, ‘00, ‘98, ‘97). Lavin guided UCLA to six consecutive 20+ game winning seasons and to six consecutive NCAA tournaments. As head coach, his career record in the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament is 10-1, but has advanced to the Elite Eight only once, despite frequently having multiple NBA players on his rosters simultaneously.
