Will the UCLA/ Arizona Basketball rivalry intensify again?

Have you been following the postseason college basketball drama? Us too! By now I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of coaches switches schools, but one hire that has me particularly intrigued with regards to Arizona Basketball, is UCLA’s hiring of Mick Cronin.

Why? Well, if I’m being honest, I think Cronin is a solid, young coach. At the age of 47, he already has amassed 365 career wins in his 16 seasons of coaching.

More importantly, he’s spent the last 13 seasons in Cincinnati, leading the Bearcats to 296 wins, with nine NCAA Tournament appearances (nine straight) and just one Sweet 16 appearance.
