"I think Lavin is a big time recruiter and a YMCA 8 year old girls league coach. Let him stay as the athletic director and get a real coach."
"lavin isn't good at coaching, but he is a good recruiter, and he has never done anything to you, so why try to fuck him in the ass like this? its so stupid. so he's not the best coach, i don't think he should be straight up fired. maybe demoted?"
"If Lavin doesn't win 11 NC in the next 11 years I want him fired. Enough of these deep tournament runs and twenty win seasons. "
"The only reason Lavin does well in the tournement is that success in the tournement depends more on player skill then on good coaching"
"Lavin is not respected by the players, and is a terrible game coach. He was a great assistant coach, and he remained one. He should not be at the helm of a divisioon 1 team."
"Lavin has proven that he more than lacks coaching ability through his consistent failure to have the bruins get a decent season and a decent seeding. the only reason that we have any success in the the tournament each year is because he is able to somehow"
"I don't think Lavin has ever truly "coached" the team. He doesn't draw up plays, and the only method of motivation he uses is jumping around like a monkey. The insane amount of talent at UCLA would be much better off with a coach who will help them deve"
"hey, this is jon saraceno from usa today. i write a thrice-weekly sports column and i'm thinking of writing a lavin piece for this wednesday. "
"I posted that we should start a firelavin.com on bruinwalk last week and I thank you for doing exactly that!! I have been a TRUE BRUIN fan since I was a little girl and I played athletics for UCLA. It is sad to see how much basketball talent comes into "
"Not good enough to be a head coach, esp. at a program with the greatest history ever."
"He can't coach, he can't recruit, he can't fundraise. He's a loser who was given a job at an extraordinary time. It's now time to go!"
"Steve Lavin needs to replaced. He has proven time and again that he lacks the ability to institute a game plan and run anything close to an organized system. We have not won a big game with Lavin this year and I truly hope that we don't make any noise in "
"As an alum of the 1995 champs, I am ashamed of what UCLA basketball has become. Hard work, discipline, and fundamentals of the Wooden area have been lost to the slick haired, spin doctor of the Lavin era. Mediocrity is not an option. Let us not forget,"
"Steve Lavin has disgraced the UCLA program with his questionable coaching and shady ethics. While a coach cannot control his players completely, his inability to make wise decisions at the end of basketball games hurt our chances to pull out some victori"
"Fire Him"
"I believe the students deserve better."
"he has the talent, experienced players, and proven winners on this team. not being able to let this team gel together is solely due to the lack in leadership as a head coach"
"You've got to be kidding!? Don't know how he got the job in the first place? Of course he needs to go!!"
