Yes, let's not turn this thread into another Cronin bashing. There are already enough of those. Good luck to Evans and his future career. We had him for 3 years so that's better than some programs get with potential NBA'ers. Not a bad thing for our program either to have someone drafted.

Exactly when will the statute of limitations be up on being butt-hurt over the Nevada game? Two weeks of pouting, whining, and self pity is getting really old.

I don't think it's going to. This town hasn't seen a winner in a looooooooooooong time. And when I say "winner" I'm not even referring to championships. We haven't even been able to sniff the opportunity to play for a championship in a long time. I think there is something special going on here..and not the good kind of special. Honest to god if you asked right now, my money would be on Mick leaving UC on his own accord for a lesser job in the not too distant future.

Oh and congrats to Jake...Loved getting to watch him as a Bearcat.

What???

I mean that absolutely made me laugh. Do you really think Mick is sitting around, reading this forum, and fretting, "Oh my God... They don't like me... That hurts my feelings so much, I think I'll go coach Wright State where they'll appreciate me!"

As a saying goes: "This is why he gets paid the 'big bucks.'" First, I'm going to assume that he's actually out there evaluating and recruiting, and not lurking incognito on this forum. Secondly, I'm going to take him at his own word and think that he frankly doesn't spend a lot of time worrying about what "the fans" want or feel. Thirdly, I'm going to assume that he's smart enough to realize that this is a business and until and unless something bigger and better comes along, he'll be quite fine cashing in the UC paychecks.

I also think that, after the UNLV escapade, a whole bunch of Bearcat fans are not lying awake at night worried about what other program might "take away" their coach. So if Mick does suddenly show up on the campus of Wright State...or Cleveland State...or Miami...or wherever...to interview for their job, he'd better be content with that because I don't see UC making a mad dash to try and placate him again. So, if he decides to "leave UC on his own accord for a lesser job in the not too distant future..." I just might be content to wish him "Good Luck" just like I wished Jacob Evans "Good Luck" as well.

(Oh, and UC would be just fine... We'd have no shortage of candidates who would be interested in our vacancy.)

You mean you really can’t foresee a potential scenario where that might happen?
I consider UC a top 15 program, so a lesser program doesn’t exactly mean Wright State or Cleveland State.

All I am saying is, at what point does Mick start to believe that maybe he has done all that he can here and decides to move on and start fresh while decent offers are still there? Someplace where the attitude around the program isn’t so toxic.

I mean imagine 3 more seasons of not getting past the first weekend...what’s the fan base gonna be like then? He might not browse these boards or Twitter but you know who does? The players. This crap finds its way into the locker room one way or another.
