Toreros Shake Up: Lavin Exits San Diego After Rebuilding Run
San Diego is parting ways with men’s basketball coach Steve Lavin after three seasons, a tenure highlighted by a 46–79 overall mark, a 2023-24 18–15 breakthrough that was the program’s best in five years, and a 2024-25 injury-plagued 6–27 season that underscored roster instability. The Toreros now seek stable leadership in the West Coast Conference, while Lavin leaves with a strong coaching résumé from UCLA and St. John’s that includes multiple NCAA Tournament appearances.
