Maybe it's just this week that's been upsetting, but I'm starting to lose faith in Cronin. 35-29 in the last 4 years when opponents score 60+, 17-20 when they score 65+, and 10-13 when they score 70+.
In that same time frame they've finished 252nd, 145th, 231st, and are 255th this season in FT %. Does he practice free throw shooting at all?
5-12 against top 25(0-3 this season).
Yeah his defense is elite, but no team in going to have any sort of success against top competition or tourney success when the offense and FT shooting is this bad. Since it seems as if Cronin is going to be a career guy, I'm not sure this is what we want for the next 15-20 years, especially since it seems like he's completely unwilling to fix these glaring weaknesses.
