The more I listen to Cronin speak, the more flabbergasted I am that he's managed to cajole AD's into hiring him over the years. All I can come up with is that his time as Pitino's assistant earned him enough benefit of the doubt (and cred by association) to land the Murray State job, where two first round NCAA losses (in 3 years) was somehow enough to impress Cincinnati's AD, where he proceeded to lose several times in the 1st and 2nd rounds (or miss the tourney altogether) over the next 8 years.
He sounds like a hack, a charlatan. And one with an outsized sense of entitlement. His days as our coach are numbered, and I can't wait for UCLA hoops to get back to being itself and we can turn the page on this clown.
