Cincinnati has granted UNLV permission to interview Bearcats basketball coach Mick Cronin for the Rebels’ job, sources said Monday.
The permission was granted before this past weekend, one of the sources said.
Whether Cronin agrees to an interview is the next big question. He had not agreed to fly to Las Vegas, but two sources said they thought he was interested in the position. If Cronin comes out for an interview this week, expect UNLV officials to work hard to nail down a deal.
Cincinnati president Santa Ono addressed the possibility of Cronin making the jump.
