Apparently, Bruin Fans Aren’t That Understanding

The ball of confusion that is UCLA basketball was finally clarified when Steve Lavin was quoted in The Times [Dec. 13]: “But because he [Rico Hines] wants to coach, he’s similar to a Cameron Dollar, a Sean Farnham, some of the other kids we’ve had in the program over the years who kind of understand the game.”

So that’s it. Once every few years the Bruins actually have a player who “who kind of understands the game.” I hope whenever that situation arises, Lavin is at least taking notes.
