Coach Cronin 300 Wins

I know Coach doesn't care about it right now, but it is a pretty big deal for someone his age to have racked up so many D1 wins. Pretty cool in the Tulsa preview video hearing him talk about getting started.

A friend of ours coached with Mick at Woodward when Damon Flint was at Woodward. He also coached Keith Gregor at Lakota when they won the state in 1992. They came from behind to beat Greg Simpson's Lima team. Mick has come a long way from UC video coordinator under Huggins.

Yeah and considering the rebuild he faced when he first came to town, he's racking them up pretty nicely. He coaches another 20 years or so could see him easily at around 900. I don't see him winning any less than 22ish games for a while. Not too shabby.

Mick was at Lakota too, or your friend?

My friend was at Lakota he has a video of game. Mick wasn't at Lakota. It's funny because my nephew played at Lasalle and Mick's dad Hep was helping out the team.

Congrats to our coach! He's put together teams at UC that would she be happy with! Yes it was great when Higgs was the coach, but I like what CC is doing. I'm completely happy with what our coach has accomplished and he's only going to get better! Defense is what's gonna get us far in the tournament!!!

Spell check, "we should" and "Huggs"

Cronin is the youngest coach to 300 wins. He has definitely improved during his tenure here. I am extremely happy with Cronin and this team. I honestly think he can win a title here if he coaches long enough.

Incorrect. He is not the youngest coach to 300 wins. Coach K was 2 years younger. The stat you were looking for is the most wins for an active coach under 45 years old, which is arbitrary and doesn't have much meaning.
