I am more than willing to give Lavin credit for graduating his seniors. Find it strange that his concern for academics did not extend to Rysheed Jordan, who couldn't return to play for Mullin even when he decided he'd like to. Also, under Lavin's guidance, did not file for the NBA draft before the deadline, even after he'd skipped out on his 2nd semester classes and all his finals, virtually ensuring that when he decided that he'd leave school to explore his "professional options" there would be no "professional options" open to him.
