USD landing longtime coach and announcer brings air of optimism
Late Wednesday night, the University of San Diego confirmed that it had hired Steve Lavin as the school’s 14th men’s head basketball coach.
USD has played Division I basketball for 43 years. Only four times have the Toreros advanced to the NCAA Tournament, the last time in 2007-08. “Real cool dude,” said Joey Calcaterra, USD’s third-leading scorer last season. “I’ve got high hopes and strong faith he’ll take this program where it needs to go.”
“As I got up there, looking at a packed church, I saw Steve Lavin sitting in the next-to-last row, on the aisle,” said Farnham. “I said, ‘Coach is here,’ and I just started crying. That’s the best way I can tell you that Steve Lavin is authentic, a true friend, a true teacher, a leader for life.”“Everyone I talked to about Steve who played for him thought highly of him,” said Fraschilla.
