In eleven full seasons as a head coach, Lavin had led teams to ten postseason appearances, highlighted by eight NCAA Tournament berths, an Elite Eight ('97), five NCAA Regional Semifinals ('97, '98, '00, '01, '02) and nine campaigns of twenty or more wins.
Early life
Lavin was born on September 4, 1964 in San Francisco. He was raised in Marin County and attended Ross Grammar School before his time at Sir Francis Drake High School in San Anselmo, California, where he was a member of the basketball team that won the 1982 California state championship with a 34-0 record.
In February 2013, Lavin gained nationwide media attention for introducing a bill that would allow an authorized representative to vote in municipalelections on behalf of a corporation owning property in that municipality. Lavin later said that he introduced the bill at the request of a constituent. He believed the bill merely allowed non-resident property owners to vote in elections and did not realize that the bill would also allow representatives to vote on behalf of corporations. The bill died in committee.
"It's fascinating. Coach Howland has brought that black-and-blue Big East style of play to Hollywood and the West Coast."
"No question, that's nice that there are fans out there who appreciate the research and background work you bring to the table in your second career."
"When you're looking at a school you consider the recruiting base, the resources, the facilities, the conference affiliation, the environment. There's no better environment."
"I think it's the team that's able to get easy baskets and is able to score enough points. With all the focus on defense, which no question is going to be a key element to it, it's also going to be who scores enough points."
