St. John's and coach Steve Lavin are finalizing an extension to keep him with the Red Storm for the foreseeable future, a source told ESPN. Lavin has one year remaining on his current contract. The number of years on the new deal is still being discussed.
I think Lavin will be fine. Three 20 win seasons and 2 NCAA's and 2 Nit's. He made the program better. Lavin has shown he can recruit nationally. He has to do a better job with local recruits. Lavin only had one recruiting class and they didn't play to their full potential. It happens. Judge the guy after he's had 2 recruiting classes. You hire Hurley and he might leave after the program gets really good. Same with the other young coaches. I don't want SJU to be a stepping stone. Lavin likes St. John's and wants to stay in NY. Keep him !
Steve Lavin and his higher-ups at St. John’s have begun their annual end-of-year talks but have not yet discussed an extension, a source told SNY.tv Wednesday evening.
just saw interesting tweet from Jeff Goodman: GoodmanESPN Jeff Goodman Lots of coaches whose futures likely determined soon: Rick Barnes, Donnie Tyndall, Travis Ford, Steve Lavin. 34 minutes ago
With him on that tweet I would think that pretty much refutes the stories that we heard last night and it's still up in the air.
