Would you rather have a team in March Madness every year and at least have a shot or watch the tourney knowing your team no longer belongs there? 4 out of 5 teams don't make the tourney. Participation in that tourney is important for recruiting.

Nobody is saying Cronin can't be replaced. But there is nothing wrong with either wanting to keep or wanting to get a damn good coach. Making the tourney is damn hard.

being 1 of many eligible teams to compete is not participation. If it was everyone would be in the tourney. You have to have a certain amount of success to be invited. While like you I would like to see more wins being one of 8 to to have that streak of invites is nothing to sneeze at.

You all are nuts. What I said was that cronin isn't irreplaceable. He did not set a bar that can't be crossed.

Your choices are stupid. They aren't the only choices.

I was responding to your comment about participation awards. I don't view it as a participation award. A berth in the conference tourney is a participation award. Everyone is invited. No one is saying the results couldn't be better once in the tourney. We would all love that. You can't win the tourney if you're not in the tourney. That was my point. My options are valid.

u make it sound so simple like there are just coaches all over that will work as good with this program as mick like they are just floating around at every mid major school with 20 plus wins last couple years. You guys seem to not even take into the equation that the grass most likely is not greener on the other side

if your saying you'd like to see more wins I'm with you. I would also agree that no one should be irreplaceable. The admin has a role to help him elevate program by giving him the tools he needs to achieve such goals. He isn't the only cog in the wheel. He is a good coach. I'd like to see us even the playing field and see if he can build on his results instead of starting over with no improvements With a new coach. I think his accomplisnphments deserve that chance. Apparently President Ono does to. He has tweeted that he has instructed Bohn to keep Mick.
