Steve Lavin

[Mikemarc]

What do u all think of him? Is he done coaching?

Why isn't his name thrown around?

 

[RUJMM78]

I believe he had health issues at St.Johns along with discipline and transfers that made the program not meet expectations.

 

[GL213]

Not interested, couldn't get it done at St.John's.

 

[Mikemarc]

Just looking at his career record, he should be high on anyone's list.

Wasn't sure if there were other factors.

 

[bac2therac]

holy moly no, he failed at St Johns, he would fail here

 

[RU_DIO]

holy moly no, he failed at St Johns, he would fail here

I'm a RU/UCLA fan. Can recruit with the best of them. Just can't coach.

 

[shields]

No and no.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

If you bring up Lavin, you have to bring up Steve Lappas as well...lol

I'm reading some of these threads about candidates and wondering what they were teaching at Rutgers while there.

 

[Mikemarc]

Just curious, how exactly did he fail at St. Johns?? He made the postseason in each of his 4 full years.

It's funny, I read this as Steve Lappas when I first saw the title.

Fran Fraschilla's name might be added to the ex Johnnies for HC list .
He was considered before Mike Rice was hired

he left them with nothing this year..many questionable character recruits, fanbase didnt like him..he went to the NCAA and got canned. All the support in the world there...two NCAAs...who gets fired after making the NCAA

There must be more than than meets the eye. Two NCAAs? At Rutgers, he would be named Pope and King

Pretty much why I started the thread. Strange that such a successful coach fell off...

 

[ruman]

He is hated in NYC basketball circles. No go

 

[Caliknight]

He sucks. He can recruit at places where the grey area is the only area. He can't coach at all.

We need someone who can do both.

No.

Bob Wenzel brought us to two NCAA's and that guy couldn't get out of a Rutgers parking ticket.

We may suck, but we still have our standards.

Lavins best days are clearly behind him. He would be a disaster at RU.

If Lavin is the choice then I'll fight to bring Eddie back.
