And he's done what else? Loyola just made it to the Final Four, is Porter Moser now an elite coach? What about Shaka Smart same deal for him with VCU? He inherited a mediocre Texas program then was bounced in 1st Round this year (year 2 for him). Or how about Jim Larranaga with George Mason? What has he done at Miami? One ACC Tournament title, but not much else in the tournament.
What else? A FF and Elite 8 within a 5 yr time frame is pretty god dam good for WSU. Considering you’re arguing for Mick who hasn’t gotten to either round in 12 seasons.
When did I ever imply otherwise? Face it, Mick is a terrible tourney coach, and coaches should be judged on post season success.
What makes you think I’d have fired Wright? Even before this run, he went to a few elite 8s. You’re also missing a big point... Mick is a dik head. You think Jay Wright would get in a scrap with a player or not take blame for blowing a 20 pt lead. I can’t imagine a recruit wanting to play for a coach like Cronin. And if you can’t recruit, you can’t win.
Because there’s no way a spazz like you would tolerate Wright after a 12, 19, and 14 loss seasons in a row. You would have claimed he was lucky, too nice, or unable to land top 5 classes or some nonsense. We all know that’s true, even you know if, if you’d be honest.
I would bc he had a solid track record in the yrs prior. And you keep bringing up the 30 wins/yr, who cares? It’s not against P5 comp and he’s accomplished dik in the Tourney. There were years the Bengals won a lot of Reg Season games under Marvin, but does that matter now with his awful playoff record?
It’s all smoke and mirrors, they weren’t playing in the ACC or B10. They had 2 good wins all year (Houston, WSU) and that was it.
Okay pboy. I’d say Mick’s a genius getting a 2 seed with smoke and mirrors then, well done!
Nope, that’s what I meant by padding his win total.
Exactly, it was brilliant. Well done mick! Great job overachieving!
Except it’s not overachieving when you go to 1 S16 in 12 seasons.
To be clear, the Final Four and Elite Eight that he made were in the same year (2013). Made the Sweet 16 in '06 and '15.
Technically they beat Houston twice, so by your own measures they had 3 good wins.
I thought they lost to UK in the E8. Point still stands, he’s a superior coach to Cronin. It’s not exactly easy to get kids to Witchita, KS. You can play all the games you want to justify his mediocrity, but UC fans better not b1tch when he comes up short again and again.
They lost to UK in the round of 32. When they went to the final four UK wasnt in the tourney I believe.
I don’t read the Enquirer. I’m guessing he still didn’t own up to the Nevada melt down. He refuses to admit his way doesn’t win Tournament games, but he’s so ego driven, he doesn’t care.
KU is making the Sergeant Shultz claim.
