Steve Lavin had come to St. John’s a complete outsider, but was ready to have all 10 seniors and three underclassmen singing his praises. But then, he went one step too far.
He wanted them to shave.
“At first, we were all really upset about it,” St. John’s senior forward D.J. Kennedy said. “But then we listened and realized, it’ll grow back. It’s one of coach Lav’s policies. It’s from John Wooden, so I guess it’s all right.”
