OT: Steve Lavin

[buckmarkduck]

I know there was a lot of talk here 2 years ago about him and how he was cleaning up in recruiting. But as always recruiting isn't the only thing to winning, a coach has to be able to coach, and he's proving AGAIN he can't. St. Johns is a very unimpressive 10-13 this year with a ton of talent on the roster.

Lavin is also battling prostate cancer and not coaching.

Due to the fact Lavin isn't actively coaching, has transferred out. There were also a couple academic casualties who never qualified, IIRC.

Norvelle Pelle and JaKarr Sampson were academic causalties. Nurideen Lindsey chose to leave due to Lavin's condition, among other things.

Ok put my foot in my mouth, had no idea he was out with cancer. Best wishes to him on that front, bad news is 1 of every 5 of us will get it. Good news is it's curable if you get checked yearly and stay on top of it.

That's why I do self checks every day in the shower....... wait... what?
