Mick Cronin

My take on Mick is so mixed it's asinine. While I don't think the guy is the greatest coach on the planet, he doesn't have very motivated players. Now here is the question: Is a coach supposed to be able to motivate his players or sit them, or can a coach motivate players who don't want to be motivated? It's a tough question to answer because I believe a coach should be able to motivate his players to play at the highest level, but was Bob Huggins able to motivate B.J. Grove and turn him into the player he could have been? NO!!!
I don't think Mick should have been fired and never really thought it was going to happen anyway. If he goes out there next year, with a senior laden team, and does exactly what he did this year, he needs to go. You cannot have mediocre basketball at the University of Cincinnati. We have two national championship and used to be one of the most feared teams in all of the land. If these guys don't have the will and desire to play and represent UC the way it should be, then get the hell out of here and let us find out what kind of coach Mick really is.
