Have to say I miss having the guy in our conference.

Mick Cronin ejects own UCLA player from game in blowout loss

UCLA men’s basketball coach Mick Cronin is used to blowing up.

I think Cronin would be gone already if it weren't for his very large buyout. He hates his team and constantly blames the players. No accountability. The fans are tired of him. Even MSU fans think the foul wasn't too bad. He is being lambasted all over social media today. My bet is he is a short-timer.

Why UCLA's Cronin Made Wrong Decision During Tuesday's Loss

Mick Cronin would eject Steven Jamerson midway through the second half following a flagrant foul. This event will inevitably send shockwaves throughout the enti

best part of this post is the comment section. they absolutely hate this guy

I saw the headline and was expecting to see a very egregious foul. It was not.

Bring him to Providence.

They have as good a chance as anyone.

Bring him to Providence.

a whacked out coach in charge of a whacked out program with a whacked out fan base. What could go wrong?

I cannot believe there are fans of college basketball who dislike Hurley more than this guy. I completely understand how Hurley can rub the pearl-clutchers of the world the wrong way (though I often disagree), but to me, Cronin is the epitome of insufferable.

He embodies that entire fanbase. It would be bedlam every time someone goes to that arena. Stubborn moxy. He needs a basketball-first regional conference.

It’s a match made in heaven.

Hurley also wins that ups the hate more than anything. You can be a jerk and lose and people won’t pay attention but when you win they have to take notice

Bring him to Providence.

English goes to his dream job at Georgetown, and Cooley heads to K State.

Always loved Cronin. He needs to be in the BE. UCLA is such a soft program/fanbase.

Stars are aligning for him to head back to Cincinnati…. @kobe youd take him back in a heartbeat no?

 

[dennismenace]

I don't know why but for some reason I just enjoy and find incredibly funny his outbursts. He loved the "rock fights" of the bid east and referred to them as such when playing Connecticut. The skinhead bantam leprechaun rides again. And yes, you can always come home!

A marriage made in heaven. Though I'd rather see him turn around one of the floundering Big East teams.

One of the funniest moments was when he coached against UConn. He went ballistic over a call and ripped his blazer off, falling on his arse in the process. His outfit was hilarious. Wish I could find video of it.

Mick at PC would be epic. I might want to stay in the Big East just to watch the show. Crazy, whining coach (l like him btw), rowdy fanbase, tough city full of Irishmen and Italians that never cease to have an opinion and all of it taking place in Big Brother's backyard. It could be so good.

Calling him a leprechaun is an insult to leprechauns

 

[Old Man UConn]

Cronin is tool bag and will not be much longer for the UCLA job. You do not shame a player like that. PC did not due it to play and player who did much worse.

Never saw eye-to-eye with Mick

 

[B1GEast]

The guy is a jerk and consistently throws his players under the bus when they lose

Fans would want either Huggins or him back in Clifton!

after reading these personal accounts from Jamerson's HS coaches, last night's interaction did come off as Cronin going after a player who he knew wouldn't buck back at him
