In my view, it was inexcusable for Cronin to not play Mara after midseason when Mara suddenly showed that he had become a huge defensive asset. Cronin had no other option at center and he still chose to play small ball with a defensivel weak PF at center. Perhaps May and Michigan tampered while Mara was away in Spain. But they would not have had that opportunity had Cronin not given them the wide opening. At least you concede that Cronin has a lot of adapting to do and he may not be willing or able to do it. I, for one, am not confident that Cronin can adapt.
