Did I Really Just Hear That????

For some of you this will make no sense. For those of you who have discussed UCLA basketball with me it will.

Steve Lavin was calling a basketball game on ESPN this evening. He was telling the listeners how important it is to instill a love for the little things in players. Little things like free throws and protecting the ball.

Yes, that Steve Lavin. The one who single-handedly turned the Bruins into a joke. High school kids would visit his practices and tell their parents it was too loose. He would let players play on gymnastic equipment instead of making them shoot free-throws.

I should be past this. I should be able to forgive the guy. The Bruins wouldn't have Ben Howland if Lavin hadn't tanked the program, so there is a bright spot. But ESPN, please don't make me listen to Steve Lavin tell me the importance of the small things.
