Hurley might not be great, but he certainly can be, where Lavin has proven he can't and won't be great

Lavin's success at UCLA is about as exciting as Randy Johnson's was in Arizona.

Portugal was 4-2 in wars in the 16th century.

How many top 100 players?

Yeah. Randy Johnson wasn't exciting in Arizona as he won a WS MVP beating the Yankees. 

How many top 100 players?

Vasco da Gama was a big-time recruit I'm told.

USF stole him.

There goes that idea

I guess maybe not:  http://espn.go.com/new-york/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/12555232/bobby-hurley-agreed-new-deal-buffalo-bulls-source

Andy Katz's 3 point shot today included something about Lavin. It appears that he only talked to Lavin though.

What did Katz say?

What did Katz say?

all it said is Lavin is confident he will be back. 

I don't care if we end up sucking for 20 years; I want to hire Ron Hunter (Georgia St. hc).  After seeing/hearing a few of his interviews he instantly became one of my favorite people in the world.  He at least has good basketball genes since his son is a potential lottery pick if he opts to forego his senior season.
Obviously i'm mostly joking with this (other than Ron Hunter being one of my new favorite people in the world) as I have no idea if he can coach or recruit, but if we're gonna continue to be mediocre one way or another, I wouldn't mind if it happened with him in charge.

Any news yet?

Wouldn't be the first time Lavin was confident in the face of all evidence pointing to the contrary.

True

Now according to DeCourcy Lavin is about to sign an extension....

 Get it done and lets move on..  Quickly.

He is going to Diallo...I think tomorrow...good timing!!!!!!!!

Tell me this, what exactly has Lavin accomplished here? 

The exact same thing as Bobby Hurley.  Both went to the Ncaa tournament and lost in the first round.

Anyone else bothered by the fact Bobby Hurley is a whiny little bitch from Duke?


 Just throwing that out there..

Tell it like it is Boo!

and 5 sweet 16s since 2008. I would kill for that type of success here. I don't care who beats me in the regular season, 5 sweet 16s in 7 years is great success

Is 4 sweet sixteens and 1 elite 8 in 6 years also great success?
