In Reply to: Flip that coin -- what does Cronin have to do posted by thewood on November 17, 2025 at 18:12:52
Cronin has to do something noteworthy with a roster he built (not one he inherited). That’s setting the bar pretty seriously low, but anything higher is probably unrealistic for this coach.
Save for reaching the FF with Alford’s roster and a red hot Juzang, this coach has spent his entire career achieving mediocre success. Year after year. He was our 4th choice of coach after others turned us down, so he somehow had the greatest job in college hoops land in his lap. He’s exceedingly lucky, but the honeymoon is long over. His preening, peevish shtick has gotten very, very old, and now we get to watch yet another loaded roster stumble to a middling finish. It’s just what Cronin teams do.
I look at the guy’s resume and I still can’t believe he’s our coach. He’s the least deserving person to have this job in my lifetime.
