I get the logic - it's not the way it is done.

Except I do recall his team that made that run to the final fourwith Cody Riley at center.

Cronin coaches a team defense - and he made it work pretty well with his final four team. (Of course that team rode Johnny J's incredible shooting hot stream throughout that run. But Riley was still the center and he was Jovic's height.)

So I get the argument but this is Cronin's show. I feel like the '27-'28 season will see the fuller ability of this lineup of new and mostly younger players but I'm not ready to write this group off because of the lack of what most of us consider to be a more ideal center. We'll see what he can do with this group
