Because he can get away with it. Those kids have god giving talent that need little coaching not over coaching. These kids are afraid to make a mistake.

Terry just asked LD if we pumped the brakes a little too early. I think He said they didn't pump the brakes. I would say most of all we didn't stop them a few times, and too many jumpers in the second half (I saw JJ Miss a 3, then 1-2 other jumpers in a short stretch).
yea I was listening too. And then he said, good season we won two championships. Really?! I still put this all on coaching staff. They always freakin blame the players in some round about way. Ya'll played stall ball and got stiff. Then the players start playing stiff because mick is screaming throughout every freaking play.
Good job Mick, you are now that coach that had that epic tourney meltdown. I hope he doesn't bring up anything about "respect" next year.
Mick’s whining and yelling is the problem. It is unprofessional and unnecessary. John Wooden didn’t yell and scream and pull players after a bad shot. Look at D’Antoni at Marshall. We need Cronin to calm down and hire an assistant like D’Antoni that can be more creative offensively.
I agree with this. His yelling is counter-productive. Look at Coach K - he changed his style up and is more coach than COACH. Mick makes the players too tense.

Mick Cronin says he doesn't care about sweet 16s, just national championships. Might be time Mick readjusts his expectations as a coach considering he's made one sweet 16 in twelve years as the head coach. Dude can't even sniff a national championship.

Just to put this crazy tournament into perspective...
-Virginia becomes the 1st 1-seed to ever lose to a 16-seed and do so by 20 points.
-Tournament dark horse Arizona loses to Buffalo by 20+.
-Favorites Miami and Tennessee both lose to Loyola Chicago, essentially on buzzer beaters.
-Houston misses a game-icing free throw with seconds left then proceeds to lose on a 30 feet buzzer beater to Michigan.
-Last year's champs UNC lose to a more inferior 7 seed than Nevada (Texas A&M) by 20+
-Final 4 favorites Michigan State lose to a NIT-caliber Syracuse squad IN MICHIGAN.
-Auburn lost by 30+ today to a Clemson team that has been missing arguably their best player for the second half of the season.
-Wichita State lost to freakin Marshall
As bad as our collapse was, a lot of teams arguably sh*t the bed worse than us.
Everyone in this board know shit happens, but when it's a constant theme that never ever changes, it becomes unbearable. You would think in the last how many years of making the tournament that UC would get past the third round once, law of averages. But for some reason same old song and dance. Just by probability we should have gotten one lucky break in tournament, just ******* once. Why have we not got that one break? Any one that can answer that I will be willing to listen other than that loss to UCLA,were all ways getting beat on a last second ******* bucket.

Cronin doesnt understand that the most coaching is done in practice. No need to constantly yell at the guys over every little thing. Im not sure why any player commits to play for him. Maybe they commit because of the assistants
Cronin Left Cumberland in the game with 4 fouls and lots of time. He promptly got scored on because he couldn't foul on the in bound play. Then he gets his 5th not long after. We even had a comfortable lead at that point. It's not like we were down 10.
Extremely stupid decision by coach. The offense we ran with 10 minutes left was also stupid.
There was a lot that went into this loss from a player and ref standpoint as well...but the coach has to be better than that if we ever wanted to get past the 16 again with him as our coach.
He's a very very good coach who can't recognize his faults or doesn't know how to fix them. Devastating loss !!!

Why berate a player after he does what you want?
Uh, he didn't. He applauded him for driving at 10:25 and yelled at him for shooting jump shot.

Is this for real? Cane Broome needs little coaching? Unless your name is Gary Clark you're fair game.

But then again the foul he went out on was a joke. Not expecting the refs to favor the opponent all game. I will second the stall ball and allowing Evans to keep dribbling and letting Nevada in. Call timeout stop the bleeding,do somethingCronin Left Cumberland in the game with 4 fouls and lots of time. He promptly got scored on because he couldn't foul on the in bound play.

No, cane drove, tried to pass to washington, pass was deflected back to cane, cane is 1ft in front of the hoop and shoots it, gets fouled.
During the stopage Cronin screams stop shooting over and over at cane.

i mean we lost in the most predictable way. we lost it doing the things the fans had feared all season.
we had hoped the entire time mick would learn from the mistakes. he did not. and it sent us home. jake being the PG in iso plays was always going to get us. you just never dreamed it would cost us a 22 point lead.
Valid point I guess. Screaming for 40 minutes seems pretty futile. Not the first coach to do it but even my fiance was like "does screaming actually help the players?". There's times I've wanted someone to give Cronin the Kenyon Martin treatmentCronin doesnt understand that the most coaching is done in practice.

Yeah, those who never change their mind never change anything. Mick has done plenty of great things for the program, but he needs to start adapting. If he continues to be stubborn, then I hope we look for a new coach in a couple of years. It’s time for Bohn/leadership to sit down with him and issue the ultimatum. It’s not time to fire him, it’s time to put his feet close to the fire. He needs to be pushed by someone just as he pushes his players.
I'm referring to the 10:25 mark where cane drove and missed and Cronin clearly encouraged him afterward. I don't care about this anymore.No, cane drove, tried to pass to washington, pass was deflected back to cane, cane is 1ft in front of the hoop and shoots it, gets fouled.

the best part is mick said in an interview towards the end of the season he doesn't actually think yelling at them like that does any good. he doesn't think they listen to it or that it helps them.
but he still does it. he is quiet the hypocrite on a few topics.

Well, it was a really fun year at least up until the collapse of a lifetime. Hope Gary and Kyle have long professional career as they're great ambassadors for the program.

It's a valid point. If you have to yell that much during a game, either they are poorly prepared or are all a bunch of half wits...it's honestly 50/50 at this point

our guys were tight as hell.
i dont know if any of you guys have played for a guy like that, but it lets doubt creep into your mind as a player. if you play with a fear of upsetting him, you aren't playing your best.
