That's fair, but Mullin so far has had less success in every aspect of the game than Lavin did. We are all aware that he had better talent at UCLA, but was it really that good? I count one NBA all star. Gadzuric was a beast in high school, but in college, not so much.

13 first and second round picks is 10 years is pretty good talent.

PS Talk about wikipedia bias, coach Lav's article only mentions cancer eight times and Cap's death twice. To be fair those events should be much more prominent.

I see. So Lavin got kids drafted that had no business being drafted.

So your position is that Coachlavs was an awful lazy recruiter at UCLA, just as he was at SJ, recruiting as he did kids who had no business being drafted at a program that had been up to then an NBA factory.

Nice try, but you clearly lost this one. Lavin got these kids drafted. No different than Boeheim, who routinely put kids in the league, even if just for a cup of coffee. And just like Mullin got his recruits drafted, should that ever actually happen one day.

Yes, you certainly won the internets today. Congratulations. After you're done celebrating, can you explain why Lavin's players at UCLA "had no business being drafted?" Jason Kapono was all PAC 10 four years in a row. Toby Bailey was all PAC 10 three years in a row. Charles O'bannon was all PAC 10 first team for two years in a row. Can you explain why they "had no business being drafted?"  Are these players who were all first team PAC 10 players for multiple years examples of the sort of player that cause you to wonder if they were "really that good?"

Because they didn't have an NBA game, yet after playing for Lavin, Kapono was an NBA draft pick, and even made some money, which is kinda the point for the player is it not?

Was his leading the NBA in three point percentage two years in a row what indicated to you that Kapono didn't have an NBA game? How did he last in the league for ten years if he didn't have an NBA game? If he didn't have an NBA game why did the 76ers and Raptors pay him 6 million dollars a year to play in the NBA?

"Auriemma said he recently talked to a men's coach who recounted that he had been encouraged to recruit a player who committed to another school. The player told the coach, yes, he was interested, but was told by his AAU coach to go to the other school.

Where did that player ending up going? To where his AAU coach told him to go."

Sid Wilson.

Well if we hired Pitino I have no doubt that he would turn us into a contender. However I also have no doubt that this program would be tarnished by the time he left.

I guess the hookers from a few years ago were insiders since they were from Louisville--What a hypocrite he is.  He should just shut up and fad away on his millions.
