Tim Floyd and Steve Lavin !!!!!!!!!!Let's see, the last time we saw Tim Floyd at the collegiate ranks, he was resigning his job at the University of Southern California because of allegations he paid an agent for OJ Mayo to have him sign with the school. So instead of taking the heat of a NCAA investigation, he quit. And now the University of Texas/El Paso in what can only be seen as one of the dumbest moves ever, has hired him. Talk about inviting the NCAA into your program 24/7. But the real blame is clearly on the president of the university. He's put shady at best athletics over academics.
As for Steve Lavin, he's been out of coaching for seven years, broadcasting for ESPN. And now he's back, being tossed straight into the fire of the Big East. A west coast guy having to break into the traditions of NYC basketball. What could the Johnnies be thinking. He got a bit of the proverbial shaft at UCLA and he seems to be a genuinely nice guy, so here's hoping he can get the job done and return St. John's to prominence.
