Cronin postgame

(Someone needs to tell Mick it’s tricky to win a title without reaching the S16 first)

Keep them coming

I'm not trying to deflect but...My uncle has cancer.

 

[CTMike]

He is so punchable.

 

[gtcam]

he is one bizarre person
What a ramble with a mouth full of marbles
I feel for his uncle and friend but c'mon Mick all you care about is something that you will probably never see - a NC?
I am so glad he isn't coaching in Storrs
If he thinks he's had health issues before - wait until this really sinks in

 

[BugsyCT]

Quite a contrast from Virginia's coach.

Not exactly the best time to catch him in an interview though. That was a monumental collapse.

Yup- VA coach was pure class.

He doesn't carrot about the sweet sixteen.

This was a brilliant statement by Mick Cronin. If you can’t see the subtle similarities between this guy and Calhoun, you have your head in the sand. People should be really happy about how the program is being run. He kicked dirt on cheaters, overrated programs full of cheaters and ignorant fans in one fell swoop. I love it.

Mick needs to figure out how to mix a little more finesse/shooting into his teams and he’ll have found the championship formula. They are just a little too rough for the tourney. He is an elite coach and again, I’d hire him in a second.

Aside from the subtle difference of Calhoun actually winning big games in March?

The guy just can’t get his mind off of the number 32...can you blame him?

I wonder how many times he practiced this answer? He just did not know the numbers randomly off the top of his head. He was dying for someone to ask the right question so he could put that rehearsed line in.

He likes to give himself a JC type image. But its all just a image

dawwww the poor leprechaun

You don’t put the regular season records together Cronin does without knowing a few things. He’s fairly young, he just needs time to break through. He’s snakebit. JC didn’t make it to the Final Four until he was in his late 50s. The only thing Cincy can gain by getting a different coach is the chance to reach a FF. In the process, there’s a good chance they lose the dominating regular seasons they are accustomed to and still not reach the FF.

 

[mauconnfan]

Sweet 16 means nothing only NC's mean anything? LOL did anyone mention to the little leprechaun that you need to get past the round of 32 to win a NC? I would love to have heard on of the reporters ask him if he realized that and see how he deflected that.

I will never, ever tire of watching this man's rage, both suppressed and unsuppressed.

I don’t mean to single you out, but I think people toss out the “Calhoun didn’t make the FF till ‘99” argument way too casually.

Yes, it took him awhile to finally break through, but he had far more postseason success than Cronin at a similar stage in his career (including multiple Sweet 16s and Elite Eighte).

Cronin’s made the Sweet 16 exactly once in 12 seasons at Cincy. He’s had entire rosters turn over, but the postseason results continue to be the same.

At some point, it stops being a coincidence.

 

[Hoophound]

I don’t disagree that Cronin is disappointing in the postseason. What I am saying is, Cincinnati would be crazy to do anything about it but be patient. He runs a very successful, clean program. If they chase him away, they’ll regret it. So, by making life difficult for him in the local media, they risk souring their relationship with him. If that happens, there will be no shortage of people lined up to hire him.
