You'll be yearning for Cronin once Brownell or McCollum are hired.

Just telling you

Chris doesn't like being undermined because it hurts not only his feelings, but his ego.

"That I've already turned down twice, but you know, there's 3-4 guys on this forum called BTown Banners that are hearing I'm accepting the job...at least you can come play for me next year"

Brother I have 40 something notifications, can’t keep up with all of them. Definitely responded too him at least once today. Can you clarify which post?

And just like the several others who all thought they had the world solved, you’d be wrong.

It was announced mid-season so some lunatic didn’t blow up Assembly Hall with some 18k people in it. But in all seriousness, this is what the IU administration does. They were not ever going to “fire” and remove one of the better players to put on an IU uniform in the middle of the season.

I’m not sure how else to answer such a ridiculous, let alone irrelevant question?

UCLA was a much better job than IU 4 years ago. Their NIL sucks and playing in a conference that makes zero geographical sense has tainted that job. That and UCLA has poor facilities and pitiful fan support. It’s a pro town, always has been always will be.

Excuse for what?

No? Do you?

Snark as in repeating the same thing three different times like I didn’t acknowledge it the first time? Lol

A nonsensical gif that I’ll gloss over before returning to back to my life?

I understand his feeling from 4 years ago lol. You don’t need to keep saying the same thing, read you loud and clear the first time. 4 years ago, UCLA wasn’t 2000 miles away from home every other week for a week at a time nor was UCLA every thought to be second fiddle in any hypothetical realm where it came to paying players.

Not even close. Crean’s average B10 finish even if you exclude his first 3 years was something like 8th or 9th. Cronin hasn’t finished worse than 5th in any conference he’s coached in since 2012.

What’s the problem? Raining on your Brad Stevens parade? Sorry?

I think Cronin would take the IU job if offered for the two above mentioned reasons…that weren’t issues 4 years ago.

I’m not here for likes, then again I don’t pretend to be some self-important person on an anonymous message board…I’m perfectly comfortable in my own skin.

Yeah NIL (which UCLA lacks) and UCLA moving to the B10.

Ok? He makes the tournament and competes for conference titles nearly every year. If that's what the next 8-10 years look like, sign me up.

You've literally lost your mind. I've pumped close to 200 posts, maybe more, in support of Cronin and I was suspended from posting for two weeks in February. My stance on who I want as a coach has been clear since the end of January. And I've made it known. Multiple times.

If you're exhausted with people asking who you would like as the coach or who you think will succeed/fail what do you truly want? The question led down the path to what you wanted to do...discuss your coaching ideas and options. If we're not going to hire Will Wade, Mick Cronin is without a doubt my #1. You aren't going to get another candidate with the qualifications of Cronin to come take this job. I've been pushing Cronin...on this thread...for nearly a month. If Otzelberger or Drew have a change of heart and want a change of scenery, I'd be thrilled. Will root for either to happen but not holding my breath. But if you end up hiring Brownell, McCollum, etc....we'll be doing this in 4 years again.

Brah you're not even batting well enough to be AA when it comes to these things. Sit this one out.

Brother...I've discussed ad nauseum who I think are realistic options and who I think we succeed/fail here.

No. It played out exactly like I said it would play out.
