I know some people here disagree- some vehemently. But right now UCLA has a very good coach and I can see signs of Cronin learning, adjusting, and growing into this job. Many here have said they want UCLA basketball nationally relevant. Well from my perspective he's done that. He has UCLA well set in the top 10 to top 15 discussion almost on a yearly basis. Next step is to enter the top 10 conversation, then on to the final four and championships.
Maybe he'll get there or maybe not. But right now he appears to have his program on that trajectory. IMO it would be foolish to not give him an extension. Maybe in three or four years this will look silly or maybe prescient. We'll see how it all plays out, but right now IMO a good move.
