Lavin Out As St. John's Coach

[KhalidShockedTheWorld]

I kind of feel sorry for Lavin as I feel he is a good guy and a good coach who has been handed some tough circumstances where he has coached. Part of me wonders whether some at St. John's were pissed about the way that Lavin disclosed to NCAA selection committee a player suspension which was not public knowledge, on ethical grounds. This may have impacted St. John's seeding.

I listened to an interview with Meta World Peace.. He wants to be a coach. An NBA coach or the St. Johns coach. I'm quite certain Meta will make a fabulous coach. He's sort of a head case, but he's always been a fundamentally sound player. Basketball continues to be Meta's passion. He's currently playing in Italy. Looking forward to seeing him on some sideline someday.

In the interview Meta expressed some regret about some of the events of his career. The fight with Detroit in particular. The only thing Meta should regret is not being able to knock that Detroit fan down after hitting him square in the face....twice...I think.

Looks like it will be Chris Mullin.
