Friday night is a huge night for Mick Cronin

If they don’t talk to Beard then they aren’t serious about being dominant again.
Not a way to run a big program. Get the best coach….
If Beard wants the job and you can't get Brad. Make it happen.
So much has changed with NIL and the portal. That new reality has to drive the coaching search if the goal is to bring IU back. "Recruiting" as we knew it is over. Its now a combo platter year in and year out...the portal, NIL and high school recruiting (which also means NIL). So when it comes to hiring the "best fit"....which candidate has the comprehensive skills that will be necessary to move IU's trajectory up? Xs and Os and charisma are important...but so is vision. Those skills have to complement the resources that are available, and vice versa. IMO....that really narrows the search pool of candidates. Continuity and consistency after the hire is also a factor. We don't need a flash in the pan....which is why significant track record is on the checklist. Dolson has his work cut out for him to find and acquire the "best fit".
It is a big night for the BIG just because of what this matchup represents.
Cronin is not a factor.

If people don't want Mick Cronin I get that. I don't want Mick Cronin, either. But baggin on him is just silly. That man has been very, very successful and we could do a whole hell of a lot worse than him. If he somehow wound up being our new coach we'd be very good.
To bad it is not a match up with two "all-time classic" uniforms being worn on national tv ... IU could have worn these crappy designed uniforms on February 28th vs Penn State and still caught the Black Month celebration. Too bad IU won't be in the NCAA's ... I'd like to see them wear green and white uniforms for St Patrick's Day since I am Irish. (joke)
IIRC Cronin plays a pack-line defense or something close enough.. and subs like Crean on a green energy drink bender, constantly running players in an out. We've had enough of that stupid outdated shit defense imnsho.
There are 10 RSCI top 100 players on the UCLA roster. Anyone except maybe Calipari would make the tourney in that circumstance.
Cronin's overall numbers are good but he seems to be a coach who doesn't really get everything out of his players.
I'd rather have Hoiberg or Collins than Cronin. The numbers doesn't add up, but that's just my opinion on him.

Why would any coach leave UCLA for IU?
It’s a step down. You don’t leave the UCLA job for IU unless you get fired.

You don’t have a clue wtf you’re talking about. He runs a defense similar to Petino who he worked with at Louisville for two years. Stupid ass fans on here need to stop acting like they know anything.
Yeah! He sucks because he wins wherever he coaches. Just shows stupid people shouldn’t comment.
Yes! He also coached high school basketball at 18 years old. He is the son of a basketball coach and was an assistant at Cincinnati then Louisville before becoming HC at Murray St. and then HC at Cincinnati and UCLA.
