OT: Cronin ejects his own player

[WhereistheDove?]

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.

20M+ reasons why he’s probably going to be there for a while. He is a true embarrassment though and thinking he would be anything but a disaster in the LA media market was laughable from the start.

I mean that looks like a "normal" play, not like the nugget from PC who should have gotten tossed.

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

It wasn’t even a hard foul in fact Gaffney probably would have called an offensive foul on us.

Feel bad for the kid, he didn’t deserve getting kicked off the bench for that. It was a good hustle play getting back and stopped MSU from going up 29…

The “are you raising your voice to me?” was the interview equivalent of what he had just done to Jameson in the game. Totally unwarranted attempt to take out his own frustrations by embarrassing someone who can’t really fight back due to the big power imbalance. What a child.

UCLA only has 1 final four appearance in the past 17 years and it was with Mick at the helm.

I always got a kick out of Cronin's antics but he's getting over the top lately and he was way out of line last night. There was no reason to go after his player like that and embarrass him on national TV. I hope he apologizes to him personally and addresses it with the media.

He's a 5'5 140 lb. bully. He needs to get himself Shia LaBeouf'd.

You guys just don't get him, Mick's just misunderstood. Big East Him!

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

 

[uconnfan68]

Never saw eye-to-eye with Mick

You're probably much taller.

UCLA, Los Angeles and California deserve his crap - that school is total entitlement.
Wouldn't want him coaching anywhere anymore

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.

Because he doesn't win. If Hurley didn't win they'd either just dismiss him as an annoying buffoon (like some do his brother) or love him for his antics.

People don't like him because he's our nutty dick and he smacks their team around.

What a weird comment.

I don’t like the way Cronin treated his player. But at least he doesn’t mouth off about other fan bases like Ed. To paraphrase Mick, “you think I care about other teams’ fans? I don’t give a rat’s behind”
