I could be off base here and I mean no offense to WingU but what I've seen of Cronin's antics over the time he's run the program at Cincinnati his antics are closer to Bobby Gonzalez than they are to Jim Calhoun.

Not even the least bit "embarrassed" about what any coach does during the game. I would be MUCH more embarrassed if the team academics were so bad that we had to be ineligible for the NCAA tournament. I was MUCH more embarrassed when Huggins' players were getting arrested and not graduating.

Just curious if anybody knows

What do the other teams boards say about KO?

I think Cronin is a very good coach but I would have been livid if UConn lost by a few points because the refs didn't have the balls to T him him up at least 2 times.

Cronins antics foster an environment of very little control. If the coach is out of control then the players will most likely be as well.

Seems like a good dude, unproven as an HC. That is about the extent to which we discuss on UC boards...

I like how Valentine actually got in his face, the Refs need to do that to Coach K.

I hated that. Refs shouldn't be getting in a coaches grill like that. T him up or don't. And I wonder if Teddy V. does that to a guy his size. That was bogus.

Maybe, but my point is Cronin didn't lose it until Valentine jumped in his face. How do you think Calhoun would have responded if Valentine jumped in his face? Any different?

It would have never happened. When you run around like an @ each and every game you get yourself into situations like this. Valentine stepped away and Cronin continued and that is when he then stepped to his face. Don't act like a child 90% of the time and you won't get treated like one. Him and his stupid fawking faces.

Can't tell if you're being serious or not.

I'm honestly surprised most here think what Valentine was acceptable or even excusable. It's not. It's completely unprofessional behavior for a referee. It doesn't matter what Cronin did, that's what technicals are for.

100% serious.

He should have been T'd up and not just reprimanded. How in the world is he right?

As far as Valentine's actions, I agree with WingU that it is completely unacceptable for a ref to do what he did. As far as Cronin's antics, not merely today's but for much of his career, I stand by my earlier statement.

Then stop dodging the question. What would Calhoun done if Valentine jumped in his face, and please don't pretend like Calhoun never said anything to a ref that would make him want to get into Calhoun's face.

I answered your question over an hour ago. It wouldn't have ever happened with Calhoun. Calhoun didn't run around 90% of the time like a raging lunatic. When Calhoun was pissed it was typically for a valid reason. Valentine didn't T up Cronin because he is a joke.

We'll then your point is wrong because the little ferret deserves a T from the opening tip by his actions. To say he didn't lose it until Valentine jumped in his face is absurd.
