Muss is a significantly better coach than Cronin. Your post attempts to compare apples to orwnges. Muss coached professionally for thr inital 20 or so years of his career, therefore it’s insane to compare how many final fours or Steve 16s he’s been to versus someone who’s been a college coach his entire career. Additionally, how many great jobs did Cronin do at Cincy? You do realize it’s much easier to win big st name programs, right? Comparing how someone does at ucla v Nevada seems pretty naive.
In Musses limited college HC experience he’s been to multiple Steve 16s and a couple of elite 8s. That’s more elite 8a than Cronin in much less time. Hell, he took Nevada to a 16.
Do yourself a little a research and see how many players Muss developed in the G and college. Then compare that Cronin. It’s really not close. Musses issue has been temperament, but that argument goes away when the comp is Cronin. Muss is, objectively a fantastic coach.
