So then sitting him truly backfires! All we need now is for Sampson to enter the NBA draft, Harrison and Bourgault to sign with a team in Paris, Sanchez to sign with a team in Bilbao and we can get to see the walk ons play again next year. LOL!
Thank God Lavin coached himself out of the USC job!!
72, don't know why you're so anti-Lavin, but it's tedious.

We had a guy who could crack Harvard's rotation?

I am not your buddy and if you do not like what I, or anyone else opinions here, take a break and go play some mindless golf! it was tongue and cheek for the most part but I would limit moronic responses like this to the "Lavin is a Genius" thread......which I did not start but everyone seems content to comment on! Take a a break for the rest of the season!

You must have me confused with Fun or Ray Morgan or any of the other dozen here who regularly bash Lavin but I am not, nor ever been anti-Lavin! I comment about his coaching strategy and substitution moves which is the purpose of this forum.
What is tedious is that THREE (3) years after Lavin was hired, with a similar record to Norm Roberts in year three, that some long distance fans that watch our games from the comfort of their living rooms and have no clue write the following:
"This group was put together, miraculously, by Lavin and Co. in desperation and against all odds."
Against all odds?!?!? Are you freaking for real? You guys have no problem bashing these players after every loss. Since when does the coach at St. John's, Wake Forest or anywhere else get a pass after losses??
You, Westie, are the same guy that responding to my comments not to put total blame on Pointer, went on diatribe about how it was all his fault and that he was clearly the aggressor. Nice work being "pro-team"!
Tedious? You must read all my good stuff! I suggest you scroll over like I do your self-righteous posts.
Tedious....anti-Lavin? When I start threads like "Lavin, the Genuis", and there are 78 guys that take the bait...that is tedious!
Tedious? Tedious is when some sanctimonious mod bans a kid because his posts are longer than his boring posts.
Tedious? Tedious is when guys who have little regard for others opinion but their own call others tedious.
Tedious? Tedious is when YOU all of a sudden, after watching Xtian Jones play some minutes, because Lavin, in his recruiting desperation lost his primary recruits, Jarel Martin and Rico Gathers from Louisiana, make a bold statement that Lavin was wrong in his assessment of Jones! Yeah, he played well as a "SUB" but also made two passes to a Marquette player! They are called turnovers and assists.
What is tedious here are guys who think their crap does not stink and then stink up the board by telling others that only their crap stinks. Guys that are challenged in a thread spend the next few weeks taking pot shots at the poster that disagreed with them, etc.
Grow some skin "buddy"! Why pick on a basketball coach on redmen.com when we can kick a Vincentian priest from here to China?

You know, if this rumore is true, than I have to say my reaction is with mixed emotions. I liked Gift as a player, and even more as a person. If he has an academic opportunity at Harvard, then I am really happy for him. He is such a solid person and a capable big body that the basketball team is losing an upperclassmen that we could have used this year. I'm not even certain that a great guy like Gift couldn't have had a positive influence on Harrison if he were on the court this year.
Good luck either way to Gift.
Good luck either way to Gift.
I am not going to get in a pissing contest with you. I rarely post, but look at just about everything on here. So, yes, your hard-on for Lavin is tedious. It's also tedious to use the word "tedious" in the same paragraph 8 times.
And, yes, if you've watched Pointer all year, and in that game in particular, he was CLEARLY the aggressor and agitator throughout that game. And, he is fond of a little trash talking, every game. I don't mind that, but I try to be fairly objective, and he needs to mature. Mine was an observation, not a diatribe, as your post above against me is. Get a dictionary and look up the definition of diatribe.
And, yes, Lavin took over a team that had 9 scholarship players leave at once and he replaced them with this talented but incomplete sophomore class, when a lot of kids had already committed, so I think that was pretty miraculous under very tough circumstances.
And, I live in Nassau County, and have had season tix for about 30 years, so your assumptions are as wrong as they can possibly be. From the few posts that I make, I am not sure how you discern the things that you allege above, but your are obviously the one with thin skin, as you accuse me of being. That's
pretty funny, given the tenor and frantic nature of your post, which speaks for itself. If I misconstrued your attitude toward Lavin, then I apologize, but I find the personal nature of your post offensive.
As I said, I ain't getting into a pissing contest. Besides, I don't even know what half of what you posted even means or alludes to, so I can't respond. Most of the posts I make are very pro-team, and optimistic, despite the events and losses (but you wouldn't know that since you don't read my posts, except for that one I guess). I can only assume that you must have me confused with someone else.
