There is still 7 or 8 names that should be at least called before Cronin should even get a mention. 

There are at least 15 names that should get a call before mark turgeon. Maybe even more names than that. 

Mark Turgeon should never get that call. Period.

And lasted not even 1.5 seasons at Texas. Not so successful there. 

Beard has a runner up finish and an E8 to his name. Cronin has 4 S16s, one of which was a F4 trip. Anything can happen in a single elimination tournament. Beard overall winning pct is .703, in conference is .613. Cronin's overall .683, conference .702.

Mick Cronin will be the youngest active coach to 500 career wins before the end of this season. Hardly worth crying over. 

C’mon man.. “beard lasted 1.5 seasons at Texas”

he was 7-1 in his second season at Texas when he got fired. Him “not lasting at Texas” had nothing to do with his coaching. The dude wins

Michigan losing at home. Cross May off the list.

How many of those games was he favored in? How many of those games did he have the more talented team? Just looking at those numbers with no context isn’t the best argument imo. 

Exactly

I’m home sick. My wife kicked me to the basement so she doesn’t get it. I’m sitting at my bar, cocktail, edible and watching Dusty & Izzo. Sky looks fine to me 

Then you better have enough to share... sky's dark and threatening out here.

Cronin is 7-6 in Q1 games this year and no one wants him anywhere near Bloomington.  Not saying I do however 7 Q1 wins wouldn’t be a bad thing to watch a team I’m invested in have

Dusty about to lose to the Izzos in Ann Arbor. 

We dodged a bullet!

Fact or not a fact? Beard coached less than 1.5 seasons at Texas.

Not getting into why that happened. Just that it occurred. 

That was in 2022-2023 and he still drinks. Therefore hardly a slam dunk, guaranteed to restore IU to glory hire. 

He couldn't get it done at his alma mater. Why is he going to get it done here? He loves IU so much? Coz of RMK?

Remember what I said this morning 

I was just reading how bad he is against quad 1 games. These same people who say Woodson can’t beat good teams are all saying Chris Beard. Sounds like he just beats up on weaker people, I mean teams.

I know; Beards at a blue blood program with top 5 NIL, facilities, and largest alumni group in a basketball state. Oh sorry that’s Woody; doing less with more since 2021 but fair comparison.

Chris beard wins everywhere he goes. Mick Cronin has a high conference winning percentage because he coached for years in the American athletic conference

I would like to see this compared against other coaching candidates. 

I was only able to see Cronin’s NET games since 2020-21.  He is 28-32 (compared to Beard’s 20-45).

Chris beard is 5-7 against quad 1 at Ole miss

mike Woodson is 3-11 against quad 1 at IU

that comparison is not a good one

No it is not. Meanwhile our white whale hasn’t won a quad 1 game in over a decade

[schoosier 3,610]

Izzo put Dusty in the freezer. Once Goldin runs out of eligibility; will May be as effective?

[Ryno6284 3,428]

We can win without Beard here! I think McDermott is the guy!

Wolf is pretty damn good and May will get a full recruiting cycle.  They’ll stay strong.

There are just too many other things at play. A quad 1 game could be playing the best team in the country on the road or the 75th best team in the country on the road. IMO beard is in a different league than Cronin. I’m not impressed with what Cronin has done at UCLA
