To be fair I don’t know a whole lot about Gates other then glancing at his kenpom and his 50 point loss to Ohio

So what. Mick used to get drilled by 40 all the time in the beginning of his tenure when he didn’t have players. You get better players and get better. Ohio has a pro on their team. Houston was good. We weren’t. North Carolina gets drilled by Virginia once a year. Who cares if you lose by 20 or 40.

But people think that coaches are jumping out of their skin to coach at UC and it’s not the case. Uc is not a destination job. So keeping Mick should have been priority one. No matter what, there isn’t a coach on our hot board who will win 89 games in a 3 year span. It ain’t happening. All I know is... John Brannen sucks. As a coach and as a human. I hope he never coaches again. Being better than John Brannen won’t be hard |

I don’t even care who they get. Just need a brand of basketball that can win in March, unlike our previous two coaches.

Because if you're not, then you're level of fandom for Mick Cronin in borderline disturbing. It's been clear since day 1 of the Brannen hire that you were butthurt about your boy leaving. You would have thought we just let John Wooden walk out the door. Don't get me wrong, Mick Cronin is a decent coach but there's plenty of argument to be made that it was time to move on. Also, you have zero clue just how good are next coach could be. They could very well end up being more successfull here than Mick. At least give them a chance. PS Quit focusing solely on win totals. You completely ignore the strength of the OOC, and the strength of the conference over those 3 years. Don't tell me a coach that *only* wins 75 games over that same 3 years and advance further in the tournament isn't the more successful coach.
