Sucks for UC-Cronin is great coach. Don't know how those Cali kids are gonna take to his coaching style.

That seems like it's turned into a really hard job. Expectations v. ability to perform.

Did Rick Barnes really want to go there or did he play his AD for a big raise?

Barnes also has a 5m  buy out in his contract ...

Jamie Dixon was set to to go to UCLA but his $8 million buyout from the Frogs was too steep.

Cronin is no Huggins, but he did okay there.
That guy is like 5'2" btw. Looks funny next to all those trees.

Its not even remotely the job it used to be. Even in the middle of a major metropolitan area with a large student body, the demographics of the school and the city are not basketball fans. UCLA is now less than 15% white males and about 3% black. Asians are over 40% of the school. LA itself is mostly Hispanic and only about 28% non-Hispanic white and does not produce the amount of talent it once did.  I think the team now averages about 7000 fans per home game and I think the demographics are the primary reason along with the fact people in LA just don't care that much. Cronin will have the same problems there everyone else has had eventually. Too bad he left Cinti which is obviously in basketball country for that.
