Lavin was with UCLA for seven seasons (1996-2003) before he was fired after the program went backward in his final year. He led the Bruins to the NCAA Tournament six years in a row and also was named Pac-10 Coach of the Year in 2001.

After he was let go from UCLA, he got another head-coaching gig with St. John’s in 2010. He led the Red Storm to the NCAA Tournament twice during his five years with the team.

He parted ways with the school following the 2014-15 season, which saw the Red Storm finish 21-12.

The college basketball world is happy that Lavin is likely getting another shot as a head coach.
