He was fired from UCLA a little prematurely. The team he spent years building got to the Final Four very quickly after he was gone, and I'm sure it was a tough pill seeing Cronin get credit for his own hard work and progress. Lame, imo.

He was a much better recruiter than Cronin, and he was a much better ambassador for UCLA hoops.
