STEVE LAVIN HIRED!

That site cracks me up sometimes. Who is "NBE Blogger" state your name gangster! or at least make one up like Mark Twain.

Jamie Dixon would be awesome for Oregon. I hope it happens for yours and our sake.

It's Ray Mernagh. He a nice, middle-aged Pitt writer/fan. 

whens the official press conference...or did i miss it already?

3:00 PM

Can we see or hear the press conference anywhere?

St. John's is back!!!!

I remember Dave and I were talking about the coaching situation at St. Johns, and I think this is a mutually good fit. I don't think Lavin is a great coach, but he recruits well and I think in NY, he'll be able to grab enough talent for St. Johns to finally start competing in the Big East again.

Lavin's coaching - better or worse than Ernie Kent's?  i think they're similar.  Fast-paced, indifferent defense at times, but for all the talk about how they suck, they still got wins. 

does anyone knw what channel the lavin introduction will be on? sny? msg?

I am search all the networks ESPNU, ESPN news, SNY, MSG, YES, MSG+, NY1,any other ideas. I see nothing : (

I can't find anything either!! Any links online?? This sucks! 

yea, this is bs. as much as i wanna watch jenry mejia pitch, can't SNY get some live coverage of this presser

Thank You only wish it was uncut

You do realize that Kent got Oregon to *two* Elite Eights? At a football school in a conference with Arizona, UCLA, USC, Stanford, and Cal?

I thought his firing was a travesty.

I didn't say what I thought about Ernie Kent's firing!  His teams were indifferent to defense, sometimes a little loose, and the fans thought the team sucked.  I thought they were asking for a whole lot; he was a classy guy, and the dude kept finding ridiculous talent and getting it to play.  I have some friends in Eugene and I've followed the Ducks as my west coast team for 12 years or so; the Lukes and Fred Jones were my jam.  Bryce Taylor seemed like a cool fella - a real smart, next-level kind of open-minded guy, and Malik Hairston could ball.  I think Tajuan Porter is simply a bad idea (a la Nate Robinson - just not a heady PG), and asking him to run the point stunted the team after Brooks left. 

But I want to hear a comparison of the coaching!  When Lavin was run off, how did his teams compare to the last two Ducks teams?
