Here is another perspective on Cronin

It’s easy to pile on UCLA basketball coach Mick Cronin right now. Everyone else in this high-horse media business is doing that.

Embarrassing a player by ejecting him and snipping at a reporter are wrong, and the former Cincinnati Bearcats coach embarrassed himself and UCLA with his unhinged behavior on Tuesday night at Michigan State. Chalk it up to a bad night for the fiery Cronin, whose team got blown out. Nonetheless, Cronin's behavior and UCLA's underachieving season could land him on the hotseat.

I’d love to see Cronin back at the University of Cincinnati. Wouldn’t you?

Cronin’s alma mater needs him. UC is desperate to return to relevance and regain its brand identity among the best basketball schools in the land.

Come home, Mick.
