Last spring was an odd one for Mick Cronin, or at least for those who follow Mick Cronin’s exploits as head coach of the Cincinnati Bearcats men’s basketball team.
Despite a decade’s worth of success at UC, rumors swirled that he was considering packing his bags and heading to the Sin City to coach the UNLV Rebels. Cronin went so far as to visit with UNLV athletic director Tina Kunzer-Murphy, who went even further in saying in a radio interview that Cronin had accepted the job.
Cronin denied that claim and obviously he didn’t take the job since it was announced on March 25 that he would remain in place at UC.
