For all those saying we may have advanced in the NCAA T if DJ didn't get hurt-we would have lost if we had 5 DJs. Gonzaga's big front line pounded the crap out of us and blew us out. We had pretty good depth with our mid sized guys-would have needed Bill Walton or Lew Alcindor just to have been competitive that night, the whole team came up small.

We wouldn't have been playing against Gonzaga 1st round if DJ wasn't hurt

Not to mention we throttled the National Champion Huskies, Duke, 'Nova, and beat Pitt among other quality wins that year with DJ in the lineup. He arguably was our best player, all around that is. Leading rebounder. So saying we had absolutely no shot is just a really dumb thing to say.

Perhaps if he goes to a place like St. Johns he will be able to bring in one or two good recruiting classes like he was able to do in his first two years in Westwood taking advantage of the cache Jim Harrick rebuilt in Westwood. Yet sooner or later he will get exposed as a complete fraud. We have gone over in details about Lavin not just being the wost head coach in the history of UCLA basketball, but also being nothing short of a sleazebag. We can also go on about how in addition being completely incompetent he was also a classless and lazy SOB.

Here is what Bruins Nation had to say before St John's hired Lavin and they couldn't have predicted this any better.  Read what they wrote and then think to yourself and I mean I couldn't describe the guy any better.  We all got totally duped but it just goes to show how desperate we were for anything positive to happen around here that we all just looked the other way and talked about his positives.  I didn't follow UCLA basketball to know that all the good players had come in his early years and then stopped going to UCLA.  This guy is lower than Jarvis on my totem pole and I thought that was going to be impossible to achieve.

He really needs to go I feel dirty following him and this program he is such a total sleaze ball I cannot even read his quotes anymore taking about how they have made huge strides since the Georgetown game.  He never stops and wont till the media calls him out on this but like we said nobody really gives a s..t around here what St John's does.

His recruiting has totally fallen off since he had to resume his coaching duties. He wants to be a college gm (which doesn't exist) and live the high life. Good ol Stevie had us all fooled and is still piling up the crap every time he opens his mouth.

I was on to Lavin from day one but he always had an undeserved following that made it dangerous to criticize him.  Cat's out of the bag now so there's no need to beat the horse any further.  Sticking to current stuff I really have to take exception to his latest BS story. I sat third row center for Dartmouth and happened to compare Jones' height  to the rest of out so called front court.  The three inches Lavin is dreaming about was nowhere to be seen. I wish he would just tell the truth every now and then but I guess that's too much to ask.

What are you referring to with the 3 inches?

Bobre i recall that reference to 3 inch growth but  think it was sarcastic comment made by a poster...unless my recollection or interpretation is wrong

At least Norm left an NCAA squad behind.  I shudder to think what Steve will leave when he finally flies the coop.

There is a lot of hate and anger going around for this guy why don't get. Mad/ disappointed/ frustrated so far I understand. Saying this is worse then the Roberts and Jarvis years I do not get...

Jarvis brought NCAA sanctions and a vacated NIT championship whic is embarrassing. Lavin can do worse by getting CBI championship vacated.

Roberts brought only 2 tournament appearance in his 5th and 6th year in the CBI and NIT, which SJU loss in the first round both times.

Lavin has made the NCAA once and if DJ wasn't hurt we may have done some damage and has raised te profile of the school...to call him worse then Jarvis an Roberts is over the top...

Hey Guys,  Im tired of hearing all the Roberts critiques.  Jarvis brought the program to it's knees, not Roberts.  Lets not forget Roberts was put in a virtually untenable position by the sanctions and scandal.  He ran a clean program, developed his 2nd rate players reasonably well and left a group of players he developed for Lavin (or should I say Dunlap) to take to the torney.      If only Lavin could teach the way Roberts did.

#1. Fr. Harrington brought the program to its knees. If he had either fired Jarvis when he first wanted to or if he had not taken the never done before step of firing a Big East basketball coach in mid-season there would have never been a scandal at SJU.

#2. Roberts developed NOBODY and proved to be a terrible recruiter, he just couldn't close on kids and get them to come play for him. Coach Dunlap was the person that took the scrap heap Lavin in hearted and got every thing they could out of them. Do you remember the difference between Sean Evans under Roberts the Lavin/Dunlap - that is development.

 Careful PMG, the Lavin haters will get on you for giving GTAPL 1/2 a development credit there.
