This team is a reflection of coaching. You can’t go to the extreme with college kids anymore. They know they can go elsewhere and not be overly chastised. Micks go to tactics have backfired and literally “coached” the spirit out of these kids.
I’m not sure why we give the guy such a benefit of the doubt that the kids can’t accept his tactics. Maybe he’s just not good enough. Last year he cried about euros and NIL. This year he got the NIL and the transfers he wanted. Both years he’s still finger pointing. How are other mid teams like Maryland figuring it out?
Cronin has lost the team. He has only one way to get something from players, rage at them. He only tries to teach defense, and has completely zero knowledge of any offense. This has been Cronin for 3 or 4 years now.
Totally correct. Calling out players. Roaming the sidelines and telling the players everything that they should do. Pointing to spots on the floor where the players are supposed to be. Ridiculous.
Cronin is the most embarrassing aspect of the program- not the players. He is totally out of control. As a Michigan fan, Cronin makes former coach Juwan Howard as a model of self control. UCLA needs to suspend Cronin to give him a message that his abusive behavior will not be tolerated.
Bartow. Cunningham. Brown. Farmer. Hazzard. Harrick. Lavin. Howland. Alford. Cronin. One championship in 50 years. Large sample size to conclude UCLA is an average program at best. These are facts. Deeper than coaching. Losing home games in conference. They are not even getting an NCAA bid. I told everyone when you brought these mercenaries from mid majors that this team was not the answer. Cronin is responsible for these players. Changing coaches doesn't work, but he's 100% responsible for this garbage on the court. And there has been plenty of garbage UCLA has produced since 1975.
Cronin's sideline roaming and 100 percent control on every play is distracting the players. The Cronin era is finished. Go ahead Cronin... blame the refs.
Ucla should fire Cronin immediately. He's out of control. Lost his mind and it's affecting the players. I played collegiate basketball at a lower level. I couldn't have played for him.
This is what you get when you try and play better and superior talent!!!!!!!.Bruins will be having some very difficult going this season.They have a west coast team,playing in a league where they are not able to match up against Big 10 teams.
The big 10 is not good. Arizona has adjusted to a more physical league without much issue. Stanford is doing pretty well in the ACC. It’s not a universal rule.
I'm a duck fan, They seem to be doing well with the scheduling although they were back east five days. The team seems rested. Altman has a deep team this year and I am sure that has helped. It is amazing that UCLA is whining because they and USC CAUSED THIS ENTIRE MESS. Oregon could be back in the PAC now playing teams that they have played against for over a hundred years. They wouldn't have to fly back and forth repeatedly across the country over three time zones. We would be in this position if USC and UCLA hadn't left and Fox and Espn withheld all the media funds. Oregon and Wash. were put in a very difficult position and OSU and WSU in an even worse position. So don't complain no one wants to hear it.
I still contend that the assistant coaches are undermining Cronins position. I believe one of them wants to become the head coach. Reminds me of Steve Lavin. Guess which coach I am thinking it is?
Please. The assistant coach? How about Cronin is over rated. He inherited EVERY player that went to the final four except Clark, and he didn't even play. They were all Alfords recruits.
Zach, “embarrassing & pathetic” is hyperbole. They on the road DURING WORST FIRE IN AMERICAN HISTORY! Where UCLA is still under threat. COUNTLESS UCLA ALUMS HAVE HAD THEIR HOUSES BURNED TO THE GROUND. Context is important. And you, Zach are pathetic… for your lack of context regarding the UCLA community and the players and staff. Unfollowing.
well it would have been put out long ago had the leadership actually filled their reservoirs vs dumping the water into the ocean. you can't fight fires without WATER.
Coach Mick is not without blame, but one thing is clear. None of these free agents are as good as expected. Average talent makes for an average team.
Don't agree!
He put this team together.
@@doc8013 he is a good coach but his recent actions are shocking!
They are done playing for a ass for a coach.

As a long time fan of Cronin, I'm afraid you're right about his antics and tactics. He can't seem to adapt.

Bye, Bye Mick. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Cronin is done. So is this team.
Cronin is the most embarrassing aspect of the program- not the players. He is totally out of control. As a Michigan fan, Cronin makes former coach Juwan Howard as a model of self control. UCLA needs to suspend Cronin to give him a message that his abusive behavior will not be tolerated.
As a Michigan fan I couldn't agree MORE! A coach should NEVER blame everyone around him.
I don't think this kind of coaching works any more. Might be time for him to step aside.

Can't coach offense, can't recruit .... Hire a head coach that fits UCLA. This dude should be at Cincinnati.
Cronin's sideline roaming and 100 percent control on every play is distracting the players. The Cronin era is finished. Go ahead Cronin... blame the refs.
Ucla needs a BIG coach, Mick is a 🤡
can they afford it? UCLA is a state school and California has major budget crisis.
Ucla should fire Cronin immediately. He's out of control. Lost his mind and it's affecting the players. I played collegiate basketball at a lower level. I couldn't have played for him.
He needs to get high 4 star and 5 star high school players,enough of these average transfers
MAN BUT IMAGINE THIS UCLA TEAM WITH ADEM BONA ON IT,.. THEY WOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE,.
Cronin is out after the season ends. I don’t think UCLA will fire him, but he is cracking under the pressure and will bail out.
Nuff said!!!
Getting into the NCAA is a must this season. Two straight non appearances could be the end of Cronin.
Lost in space will robinson

Lousy recruiting…worst shooting team of my lifetime

Cronin wanted to get ejected?!?! He’d seen enough?!?! Quitter?!?!
Could tell from the very beginning that this piece of work ...was full of himself. He usually does a better job ò hiding it.
Lack of talent. NIL baby
He wants to be Rick pittino ( crying for calls and controlling every play by his team )
Pitino won championships, something worked.
@BryanC.-co6bw He won by being sleazy - he also got fired
Players players players ............they stink...........was stupid
This team is trash, just like the football team no hope at all
Dude, put your dirty laundry away for the podcast.
Cronin is interesting. You're cute Zach.
