Hope Amar has jumped a couple slots of the depth chart. I also thought Felix played well in his spurt on the court had a bucket and had a nice drive to the basket, beat his man, but just didnt put enought on the layup.
Felix has to finish stronger. He beat his man, and instead of going right to the rack, he took what looked some sort of off balance jumper. He's got to use his athleticism in smarter ways.
Lavin, in the salt and pepper timeout, told them he wanted them to finish above ther rim. Rysheed also went left to the basket and tried to put it up softly and got it blocked. If these kids listened to their coach, we would still be ranked.
Oh geez.
First off, how do you follow the instructions of someone who gives analogies, or examples, or equivalences, if you will, in threes?
But even assuming they could understand what he was telling them to do, what good would acting like an ancient japanese mercenary, a robber of medieval nobles, or effecting the values of a discount superstore do to improve their basketball-play?
Simplyred, we root for the same team, and I want them to do as well as you do, but wake up! LaVin hasn't said something helpful in a pregame, ingame, or post game speech since he got the job here.
Spin and hot air, over and over again.
LOL
Please answer me this, how would you know? Do you sit courtside, no you don't, in fact your in every single game thread, so you attend basically no games.
Do you have Lavin mic'ed up?
Have you listened to all 117 games Lavin has coached in the huddle??
Do you travel to every away game and tournament?
This was one of the dumbest post's I've ever read. You seriously sound like oldred or realfan, or Linda with that one.

I thought it was obvious that I was exaggerating my point. I guess not.
Of course I haven't been in every huddle, but yes, I do attend every home game. If I'm commenting during a home game it's from my phone.
And I've been to our neutral site games at MSG and Barclays this season, and went to the Rock on NYE.
So disagree with me all you want, but I watch the games intently. Usually in-person.
And while I was embellishing the argument for sure, I stand by the point that I think Lavin talks in circles a lot and doesn't offer concrete instructions very often.
I'm sure he sometimes says things that are helpful. But from what I can hear at Alumni Hall (where my seats are relatively close to the SJU bench) and from what he says during tv coverage of timeouts, I think he's a poor communicator.
You can support him all you want, but I'm far from the only one who thinks Steve Lavin is useless during timeouts. Ask UCLA fans.
The man has a reputation for a reason.
