Feb 18, 2026 | 3:24 PM

San Diego has fired head coach Steve Lavin after three-plus seasons, multiple media outlets reported on Wednesday.

Lavin, 61, has posted a 46-79 overall record with the Toreros and 18-47 mark in West Coast Conference play over that span.

San Diego (11-17, 5-10 WCC) lost for the fourth time in five games with a 92-79 home setback to San Francisco on Sunday. The Toreros return to action on Saturday against visiting Loyola Marymount (13-15, 4-11).

Lavin owns a 283-229 record with UCLA (1996-2003), St. John’s (2010-15) and San Diego. He has guided his teams to eight NCAA Tournament appearances, six with the Bruins and two with the Red Storm.
