I'm curious to where people would rank our program

If it was most recent I wouldn't put us in the dicussion. Our past is want helps

A reminder that this is solely based on rankings within the AP Poll. Which does not mean anything about winning conference titles or tournament success.

Also of notes, http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/sala...ketball/coach/

Cronin was the 21st highest paid coach this year.

I really am not trying to start fights about the programs state of being nor about our coach. Just posting articles regarding UC hoops. Let's try and keep this civil please?

Also, I don't think Gregg Marshall is leaving Wichita State anytime soon with that pay. That's crazy for a program of that size. He deserves it, though.

I was just curious what people think. I think people view the program in very different lights and interested. If we are just talking the AP poll, that explains why we are on there

They have the Koch brothers and no football team.

Yeah, but this list isn't

And neither is this one........

In fact, almost all lists I've seen over the years have included UC somewhere in their Top 25. Many had us in the their Top 15 before the Mick era started and some have dropped us down a little in recent years. I'd say that an all time compilation of where a program has sat in the polls is also a VERY good indicator of the type of success a program has achieved.

Winners win and losers make excuses. Luckily for us the facts bear out that our program is made up of a lot more wins than our fanbase.

Never settle people.

Sorry got busy with work and forgot to check on this thread.

The Jordan brand comment was referring to a former player (Logan or Stokes?) saying that if he was the coach the first thing he would do is get Jordan brand back for recruiting (I am not sure if this really has an effect). I was just pointing out there is a significant difference in times. Jordan brand I believe only works with 3-4 schools currently, and as you can guess, none are mid-majors.

Georgetown and Marquette don't seem to be benefitting a whole lot these days from being Jordan brand. UA is growing every year in terms of number of schools they represent. And is definitely not a main point imo if you're arguing why we aren't elite.

I would say this year we played like a top 21 school so it would seem justified for him to be the 21st highest paid coach.
