in the past at all for the Bruins. Larry Farmer, Walt Hazzard, Steve Lavin had a combined record of 283 wins in 431 games for a win percentage of 65.6%. Cronin has a win % of near 69% in his time at UCLA. I don't believe any of those three guys you mentioned have the stature, connections nation wide or head coaching experience needed to be head coach at UCLA. Selection of a head coach based on past ties to a program, without mentorship for years under a solid coach, just isn't the way to move up in the coaching ranks in most cases. Just my opinion though.
Regarding young coaches on the scene now, I really like Dusty May. His coaching style and his on bench demeanor is a model to be admired.
