told @CoachCroninUC extension would run through 2021...neighborhood of $2.2M year + bonuses.
Great Coach and more important Great Fit....
Really happy for Mick. He took an inordinate amount of bs from an unrealistic fan base and built a winner. Great day for Cincinnati hoops!
Next order of business is getting a renovated Arena.
5/3 isn't that old (1989) so I would think a "moody like" upgrade could make it REALLY nice.

It's not old...it was designed with state funds so it had to be designed as a multi-use facility. Which means it struggles a bit as a single-use facility.
Pastner and Cronin making bank
Well deserved raise and extension.
Lot of basketball yet to be played of course, but right now it looks like a race between Cronin or Brown for AAC COY.

I like Mick, but he is a much better coach today than when he was hired. He has grown into this position. I think he was immature with the early handling of the team. He has since grown into a confident respected coach.
Glad to see one of our good programs take a stand to/and remain strong. Cheers!!!
