I think we've seen the last of DLo and rightfully so. Lavin's stunt was unheard of and the last news we needed trying to make something out of the end of the season. Just bench him and use him sparingly to win games then say goodby without all the fanfare. These are not paid employees and they deserve some understanding when things go awry.
Lavin did what he thought was best for the program, he did what he thought was necessary to get through to D'Lo. We don't know how many chances coach gave D'Lo, or to what extent D'Lo's actions were having on the team. As fans we may not like the decision because of the pending ramifications to the season, like it or not, Lavin has to think about the future and we should trust that coach is doing what is best for the program. As the old saying goes, "this is gonna hurt me more than it will you". Its a punishment that hopefully makes a better man, teamate, and leader out of D'Lo. Its low risk, high reward. I don't believe Lavin had high hopes for this year once he knew we weren't going to have Sanchez. This move is for the future, next year is when we make our splash.
