Nice strawman. No one ever argued that Lavin was as successful as Howland has been. But since we're playing, here's what Lavin did at UCLA. What a horrible coach.

"During Lavins tenure as head coach, the Bruins qualified for six consecutive NCAA Tournaments (1997-2002). During this period, Lavin became one of two coaches (along with Dukes Mike Krzyzewski) to have led his team to five NCAA Sweet 16s in six seasons. Lavins record in the first and second rounds of the NCAA tournament is 10-1. Lavins winning percentage (90.9%) in the first two rounds, is second only to Dean Smith in NCAA Tournament history"
