Mick Cronin reportedly won't be leaving the Cincinnati Bearcats to take the UCLA Bruins job.
UCLA is working on a deal with Jamie Dixon, according to an ESPN report by Jeff Borzello, pending finalization of his buyout with TCU.
A report Monday by LATimes.com's Ben Bolch indicated that the Bruins' leading candidates - "after a bevy of more coveted coaches expressed no interest, were eliminated through the school's vetting process or declined to be interviewed until after the Final Four" - were Cronin and Dixon.
The Kentucky Wildcats agreed to a long-term extension with head coach John Calipari after UCLA reportedly expressed interest in Calipari.
