Lavin

That is simply Lavin's agent firing back at Repole and other anonymous "sources close to the program" who have been feeding leaks to Zags and Zach.

Agreed

Source to @tsnmike: St. John's is in negotiations with Steve Lavin about a contract extension. http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-basketball/story/2015-03-25/steve-lavin-fired-coaching-st-johns-contract-red-storm-ncaa-tournament?eadid=SOC/Twi/SNMain …

No one knows...you...me....Baldi.....no one knows.  My "guess" is there have been "discussions" and "talks" if not negotiations for a very long time...off and on.

 So there is that... Back to your regularly scheduled nonsense.

There haven't been any contract negotiations yet.   So that article is just false.   
Could there be talks beginning an hour from now?  Or starting next week?  Sure.
But nobody has talked to him about an extension Quanman.     So let's stop the BS

You or the Sporting News take a guess

No one knows...you...me....Baldi.....no one knows.  My "guess" is there have been "discussions" and "talks" if not negotiations for a very long time...off and on.

There haven't been discussions on and off for a very long time.  That much I know with about as much certainty as you can know anything second-hand.
Could they have started today?   Possible, I guess.
But whether I like Lavin or not, throw that aside for minute.   There really haven't been negotiations or talks up until now.   And in all likelihood the school hasnt even decided what they're going to do.
So the this Sporting News story is a rumor/leak from Lavin's agent.     And I say that without any bias towards what I hope happens in our coaching situation, I just think that's the situation on the ground as they say.

Heard it's bascially a done deal. Lavin will be here for awhile.

 DeCourcey is a well respected college hoops writer..  He's not reporting garbage or BS.. 

That makes sense....

The article doesn't say he's getting an extension.   It says media outlets are reporting his job is in danger, but that an extension could be complete by next week.

Well, that certainly clears everything up.    This is a non-story, story.   

It was a good fight @Desco

Desco...maybe you can still get a contract clause in there about his attire.

I think the writer mean despite what is being said in the media it seems like they are talking about a contract extension. I don't love Lavin, I like him more then most here but that isnt saying much. That is my read on the article but I could be off

Actually, most here like him as much as you do, Wods.  Didn't you see the poll?  That might be what tipped Gerampisaw to the keep Lavin camp.  Thanks, Desco.

A real back fire,...unintended consequence.

It was a good fight @Desco

I'm not wrong.
As of this morning there had been no contract talks with Lavin.   That is a fact.
So unless they decided today to keep him, and he agreed in principle to their terms... this is just a leak and posturing. 

Now, that's not to say the school couldn't make a decision tomorrow or next week to keep Lavin.  They could.
I was told this morning no decision had been made, people were waiting to see what president G wanted to do, and no one had talked to Lavin about an extension yet. 

who is "they"

DeCourcey's source(s) is not Lavin or his agent.

I like how DeCourcey is "favorite" - ing tweets where Zach B is doubting his story...     Lol.

I'm hearing the complete opposite. I guess we will eventually find out.
