always get better and to my mind "more better" than teams usual improve. And then there's Jaquez who far exceeded what most people thought he was capable. And Clark far exceeded his NBA draft expectations. And Bona, although limited in some ways, becoming a more rounded player and effective on multiple levels. And Tyger becoming a very effective college point guard. So there's that and probably other examples that don't come to mind at the moment.

But, I do agree. Mara was a huge loss and Cronin deserves, at least, some of the responsibility for that loss. Shame on him for that. Still, it really isn't disputable that Cronin is a very good coach - whether one likes him or not.
