Cronin is still living off that Final Four with Alford's players. But this is likely to be the year more of you start to see what's been plainly apparent to the rest of us for years: he's a charlatan who's been immeasurably fortunate with the opportunities he's been given and the patience he's been afforded. He would not have lasted this long at better, more competitive programs.
Nevertheless, I hope our players continue to develop and perform well in spite of this coaching issue. I think 4th place is probably beyond a Cronin-coached team's ceiling, but if Kusturica develops faster than expected, maybe we can make some noise.
Go Bruins!
