Good question, I’m also curious who the hire would have been.

The team was top ten considering they were underrated based off how are conference is viewed. We were in a league last yr with virtually 2 sweet 16 teams if Houston and UCF can finish against UK and Duke. This wasn't meant to be a rebuild kind of yr and any other guy with CACHE keeps a team like that together no question

You're telling me the roster Brannen has right now is that much better than the roster UCLA has right now? This team was never a top 10 team and only got worse before he even started coaching.

Your standards of a coach instantly having his scheme, philosophy, and results in place is apparently only held for Brannen and no one else.

Someone please refresh my memory. Where did Huggins come from? And where did Cronin come from?

But I gotta wait on something that I already understand what are fans like me to do when you know a mistake has been made. It's like watching a kid about to do something stupid or doing something stupid and we gotta give em a chance to **** up excuse me but that's what it's like

Lucky for us its not about you or your inflated idea of the state of UC basketball. Fact is UC averaged 22.5 wins 11.5 losses with less than half a tournament win per year with Mick. He had 89 wins in three year run. I think you forget about Mick's early struggles Joe. It took him time and it will take Brannen time and the next guy time. If you were qualified to hire coaches, I'm guessing you wouldn't be in a chat room spewing nonsense about how you know more about basketball than everyone.

Akron and Murray State but I think you knew that.

Joe runner your really trying to say UC has more talent than ucla and Mick's job was harder than Brannen's. You should retire yourself from debating basketball. It's over buddy if you hadn't already you have officially been outed as a basketball hack.

Bro I've moved on ok lol. My God this isn't about Cronin but he should of been resigned if your not gonna replace him with a suitable replacement that exceeds the prior coach since that was the goal. Y'all like to take a point made and make a mochary out of it. What rational or when have I proposed hiring coach k or Tony Bennett? If you can't sing an improvement you resign the current guy getting you into the postseason. Mick was a young hot coach who earned his stripes coaching in the big east against Calhoun, Bioehim, Patino, Jay wright, Bob Huggins the list goes on. We shouldn't need to dig into the mid majors to poach a coach esp if we are an established program but if you can find a diamond in the rough feel free
