Rick Barnes of Tennessee said thanks but no thanks to the Bruins and their men's hoops job. They can't find anyone to take this post. It has become an unhappy turd in the Division I punchbowl. Good heavens. Sam Gilbert is spinning in his grave.
Settled on Mick Cronin for 6/$24M
Dunno how they did it... Not saying Cronin is the next Wooden, but he's a whole lot better than Alford and may turn out to be better than some of those that turned Westwood down in the last couple weeks.
At least this guy should have them playing hard on the defensive end...
How many feel that he has to hire someone with ties to the top aau programs in the LA Basin, and San Diego?More than tripling his salary was helpful in luring this guy west.

Pretty sure Cronin was not UCLA’s 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on. So “settled” is a good word.
Yeah 9 straight tourney appearances with only 1 sweet 16 appearance. Will he turn things around, maybe with the PAC-12 being what it is right now. Not knocking the hire, but it’s who they chose to settle for.
