Compare them to Crean who was fired and it looks even worse.  Cronin would not last.  He's Tom Crean but much shorter.  

Compare who to Crean? Cronin? Cronin’s resume since 2010 blows Crean’s IU tenure out of the water.

I would genuinely love a JFK assassination conspiracy theory thread here lol.

Joking, obviously. But it would be a treasure trove of internet weirdness. 

Man, BTB is the gift that keeps on giving... never a dull moment, for sure!

I’m kicking around the idea of an annual BTB free-for-all day. Think of it as our very own purge. Lock down the site so no new accounts can join and one special thread is open to just get absolutely buck wild. Conspiracies, crazy insider stories, the whole nine yards. If you have a problem with someone? Hash it out. 24 hours of unmoderated madness and then the thread is deleted forever. I think it would be good for us.

Turned out well, didn’t it?

Not the point, how could IU have found such damaging material on him and Texas just came up empty?

Maybe they didnt come up empty and they were willing to overlook it and take a chance

Why cause he had one lucky run like Crean did? At least Crean won a few B1G championships.

I'm sure many of us could use a good therapy session...

Decent chance the JFK file gets declassified soon (66% chance per betting markets).  That’s a drop everything and read it moment if it happens.

And finally prove the bullet curved.

Great bit. You keep this up and all you mods are gonna get a nice raise on next year’s NIL budget. Leal Deals for everyone.

Texas is his alma mater.  Maybe they thought they knew him better.

Maybe they assessed the risk differently.

Bet Texas would have loved to have seen that notebook since they hired him without reservation.

I think they looked the other way since he was an Alum. Or they wrote something in the contract so they could get rid of him right away.

The kill shot for JFK came from the grassy knoll. It’s not even really debatable based on the heads reaction to the shot and physics. 

Two words:

spontaneous combustion.

I don’t think it really matters, just throwing out some names to help the flow of the board and get more pages. We both know who it’s going to be. Say it for me.

What? Cronin has won 69% of his conference games since joining UCLA. Finished 2nd, 4th, 2nd 1st, and 5th in the PAC 12. He’s made the sweet 16 three of the last four years. He hasn’t had a conference record under .500 since 2010. Even if you remove Crean’s first 3 seasons in their entirety, he won 58% of his conference games at IU. He missed the tournament twice in his last four years and went 20-14 and lost in the first round another year. 

I feel like people are talking about a completely different person when they talk about Cronin… Maybe he’s a curmudgeon, but his resume stacks up with any other candidate out there.

There were two issues at the time -- first was IU didn't like his background and second was that it obviously clear he coveted the Texas job and was likely going there.  The first one was kind of irrelevant at the time for IU because of the second.  The first one is even more relevant now.
