I once had a girl tell me in Jr High that she would ask me to the Sadie Hawkins dance if she couldn't find anyone better to go with. I'm kind of getting the impression that UCLA is playing the same card with Mick.
So did the girl find anyone better? Did you go with her? Don't leave us hanging in suspense.

Dude, I was in Jr. High. You must be a perv or something.
LOL Perv? I just wanted to know how the story ended. If you went with her, I don't need any details!
PS I was being kinda sarcastic.
Imagine being Mick Cronin and UCLA calling you now like hey you weren't our 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or even 6th choice but we couldn't get any of them so now we want to offer you the job and pay you less than we were gonna pay them. If I were Mick and they offered me 2 weeks ago I would of accepted it but now I would tell them to shove it.
Any established coach that takes that job now had better be:
1) Tony Bennett or Chris beard (unable to talk to UCLA until now)
2) paid a fortune
3) about to be fired at their own place (Shaka?)
Otherwise UCLA must now hire an up and comer or Luke Walton/earl watson.
If mick take the UCLA job it better be for $6million it more per year, otherwise he will look really weak.
Yikes... Here it comes.
the moment of Truth.
UCLA insider from 247 just posted that UCLA will not focus all of its efforts on Mick Cronin.
Does Mick take the money and run ( I don't blame him) OR Sign an extension with UC using UCLA as leverage?
Mick has a bruised ego with both UC (who wants to under pay him) & with UCLA (who chose multiple guys over him).
If Im him... I take the fresh start, beautiful weather & millions
You can put a lot of ego aside for 4 million a year.

The Bearcats are slated to return their top three scorers, including Jarron Cumberland (18.8 ppg). One concern is whether Mick Cronin remains as his name has popped among the coaching vacancies this offseason. Whoever is at the helm starting 2019-20, there'll be ample talent to win the AAC
Why would it look weak?
he makes 2.2 Million at UC.... If they offer him 4 million and a house in Malibu, then you'd have to have an awfully big ego not to take it.
UCLA fans have hated every choice UCLA has gone after except Calipari. They didn't want Barnes, they didn't want Dixon.
