Lavin

Folks should just relax and take it easy.  Heck!  The college basketball season isn't even over. 

I'm sure we'll know something shortly.  Before the internet most folks wouldn't have a clue what was going on.

the funny part is that this is really not news. the same people on these boards are now on twitter.  at most there may be 40 consistent fans.   lol.

Jon Rothstein says Lavin is gone.

Thank goodness. Now lets get a home run hire

Kind of similar to Daxter Miles.

I think HNK has to take a 3 month break from this board now or something

I am glad to...but Baldi never responded to my offer.

Some crow to be passed around?

Nicely done Baldi. Thanks.

We'll just forget the fact that Baldi has predicted this every year since Lavin's been coach. LOL. Broken clock and all that.

And what about those extension thumpers? Good job by them

Thanks, Coach!

What really bothered me about Coach Lavin, besides his poor post season record, was his recent poor recruiting record.

Lets face it, that was going to be one of his strengths.  Over the past three season he has only recruited Chris O. and Mr. Jordan.  Yes, he had that great earlier recruiting class, but why did the recruiting well dry up.  And that includes this incoming season, when you would have thought, with all of our openings, he would have repeated his earlier big successful recruiting class.  Did Coach Lavin pull another version of the latter years of Coach Jarvis, and wait for the fish to jump into the SJU boat?

I hope we succeed in bringing in a coach that can both recruit and win in March.

Keep in mind that several major media outlets, including the Worldwide Leader, all reported this week that Lavin was getting extended.

So they lowballed Lavin, was that because of Lavin or how they intend to run the program moving forward?

My guess, and it's just a guess, is that the administration was fine with keeping him at a lower salary or just letting him walk if he declined the pay cut. He declined and they decided to move on. They didn't like him enough to meet his demands or dislike him enough to fire him or not offer him some sort of extension

Does that make sense though?  Either you feel he's the right person for the job or he's not, regardless of what your paying him.   The expectations for the program should be the same.

That is not exactly hat theyreported they did report that he was in extension talks which clearly implied it was moving in that direction.
