[DC 86]

Reminiscent of the Bootleg's link (from UCLA fan site, iirc) to apocryphal Pac 10 coaches' meeting where Monty and Lute were leading the discussion amongst conference coaches as to who would tank game(s) against UCLA to ensure that UCLA kept Lavin on as head coach.  It was hilarious.  [And for our younger readers, Lavin made the NCAAs, including S16s (all the while underperforming as coach . . . pretty badly, imo)].

Lavin went to five Sweet Sixteens in six seasons. Beat Stanford in back-to-back seasons when we were ranked #1 in the country both times. Finished with a 145-78 record at UCLA.. No comparison to Haase; we would be delighted with that level of underperformance.
