The ugly is Cronin throwing his players under the bus. It's constant with him. I hate that Jamerson got tossed. 1) I don't think the play was that bad. 2 UCLA players were knocked to the ground on lay up attempts vs. Michigan.
2) I had a brief conversation w/ Jamerson at the Utah football game. I said it's great that y'all are out here supporting the team. He said "hey, we're all UCLA athletes, we support each other, doesn't matter what team it is." And, Mick is implying the players don't take pride in their program. Well, MadMick, they had pride before the season started.
The Bad, is the level of play.
The good is I actually like Mick shutting down Jimmy Olson.
Bottom line is Mick is always going to blame the players he coached and recruited. After what he did to Jamerson, we'll see if any effort is put out. I half-watched the Michigan game and didn't see this one. If the team quits, or has quit, on Mick, then you've got to consider walking him.
