August 14, 201511 yr You clearly know nothing about Mick Cronin. There was a somewhat heated exchange In Vegas between Cal and Mick when the Teague situation went down. It didn't go down like Parrish said it did. I know that as a fact... So you were standing there? Tell us what happened in that case then...
August 14, 201511 yr Mick himself said this story isn't referring to him: Mick Cronin ✔@CoachCroninUC Lance. Tell them I'm sorry. I like a good confrontation. But it wasn't me. Last one I had a guy picked up my ballddcaf 8:28 PM - 13 Aug 2015 Well that's interesting, a whole lot of Mick for nothing.

August 14, 201511 yr Are you saying that Cal milking 3 million dollars of Nike money to Jeff Teague as the foundation for landing Mook at UK is a red flag? I consider it working the system. Do you consider it as a recruitment with question marks? 3 million dollars changed hands on a bench warming guard. Call it what makes you feel good... Was part of the deal that the Hawks had to make him a starter from that day forward? "Bench warmer" to NBA starter...the fact that he was becoming an NBA starting guard had nothing to do with him getting a small Nike deal? Nike wasn't smart enough to realize that with the washed up Mike Bibby gone that Teague was going to be the starting PG...

Nike already had Jeff under contract, and at the point of the extension he had done very little in the NBA. He certainly hadn't done enough to warrant a 3 million dollar extension. But you spin it however makes you feel good about what went down... :thumb:
August 14, 201511 yr I just listened to about 15 minutes of Mick Cronin on the Lance McAlister show and this question wasn't even asked.

But you spin it however makes you feel good about what went down... :thumb:Not spinning just asking...he was becoming the starter, don't most every starter get a better than entry shoe deal in the NBA? But spin how ever makes you fell better...you are better at it than I am
August 14, 201511 yr Not spinning just asking...he was becoming the starter, don't most every starter get a better than entry shoe deal in the NBA? But spin how ever makes you fell better...you are better at it than I am Once you prove yourself as a quality starter and your first deal comes up, sure. That didn't happen for another year plus...
August 17, 201511 yr I talked to a coach who was present when this all went down...I know exactly who this latest story is about.
August 17, 201511 yr Author I talked to a coach who was present when this all went down...I know exactly who this latest story is about. Then spill it.
August 17, 201511 yr I talked to a coach who was present when this all went down...I know exactly who this latest story is about. I like all the information that you provide Wireman but that is just annoying lol. "I just want to let you know that I'm connected and I know the real story, but I won't share it with you." And I understand why you wouldn't because you probably don't want to burn any relationships but if you aren't going to tell us what you know, what's the point in telling us you know something?
August 17, 201511 yr Would have never known who Fran McCaffery coached if I didn't click the link... I knew the name and knew he was a coach, but that's about it. Certainly not a guy I'd consider a "prominent" coach.
August 19, 201511 yr My favorite part of the story and I have many favorite parts, is Kornheiser's reaction.
