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.
I'm hearing the complete opposite. I guess we will eventually find out.
There were contract talks before today?
Is it possible that they just decided, say late last night, that they would retain Lavin? Today they are hammering out the details based on a proposal that was previously drawn up, but not negotiated?
I'm indifferent to be honest.. If we Keep Lavin I don't see him here for more than 2-3 more years, enough time to hopefully fix the roster mess and get some more talent..
5 year extension with a buyout option after year 3 is what I'm saying..
There are always flavor of the month coaching candidates every year.. I have zero FOMO with these coaches today/this season..
If they fire him...So be it.. New beginnings are exciting for me as a fan.. I find it crazy how militant some people are about it.. Lighten up. It's a lousy basketball team we have been cursed to root for..
