Two things. - the Dave Berov podcasts are amazingly good, professionally done with great questions!!
The Sean Evans interview is interesting. My impression is that his recollection of Lavin's first year and getting thrown out of practice for nothing is just his perception of him and dj being blameless.
Both recruited by Norm and both enjoying favored roles under Norm, they were likely outwardly very pissed and creating toxic undercurrent of Lavin's assessment of players and their roles.
Evans wasn't a groundbreaking big man in my opinion, bringing the ball up, he was an undisciplined player flying up court out of control. Kennedy was the man under Roberts offensively, but on Lavins better team was a third option after Hardy and Brownlee. Evans sat because he deserved to sit, just as Hardy deserved to play over Boothe. Still, it was a great interview and Sean has done great and told great stories, especially with sju teammates overseas and playing in the Ukraine during a war.
Finally I am in the rising storm video clips of sju fans storming the court. For those who know me, three Garden beers for the first person to identify me in the decades old clip.

”It‘s not that difficult” twice. That was me watching SJU basketball for the last 30 years.
