March 25, 201610 yr Geoff Grammer @GeoffGrammer So, UNLV AD now saying on @ESPNLasVegas that Cronin verbally agreed to a deal and then never called back when he went home to Cincy. This lady needs to stop talking. She's making herself and the university look bad. Yikes...
March 25, 201610 yr Following GT on Twitter doesn't give you connections. That made me chuckle. Thanks HT.
March 25, 201610 yr I was right about everything. Have fun at your NKU games. You said Cronin was in Cincinnati when he wasn't. That makes you wrong. You said there would be a press conference when there wasn't. That makes you wrong. You said UNLV didn't want him even though they offered him a contract. That makes you wrong. Just because you were right that he'd stay in Cincinnati doesn't mean you weren't wrong along the way. The end doesn't justify the means.

March 26, 201610 yr Hope Cronin can get the support he was looking for. Greater Cincy is more fun when UC is good.
March 26, 201610 yr The Las Vegas people seem to think Cronin wasn't honest. Cronin and his use of the UNLV offer for leverage to sweeten his deal back home — apparently this guy tries to rework his contract every time someone orders a chili dog in Cincinnati — is the ideal example of the seedy underbelly that defines big-time college athletics. Whether it’s recruiting players or coaches chasing jobs or leveraging the ones they have for more money or better facilities or whatever amenity they believe is lacking within their program, there is a reason college basketball ranks among the dirtiest of sports. That he didn’t bother to inform UNLV athletic director Tina Kunzer-Murphy personally of his decision — she learned of it via Twitter — Cronin officially receives the Loser of the Week award. That’s how a lot of these guys do business, and it’s pathetic. “Tina Kunzer-Murphy and (UNLV) president Len Jessup went out and got all the financial support needed to make a very significant offer to Coach Cronin,” said Tom Jingoli, a member of the university’s Board of Trustees and significant contributor to the basketball program. “(Cronin) looked all of us in the eye and told us he would be our next coach, that he just needed to fly home and take care of some business. “I don’t care what he is saying now. He told us all he was coming.” Even if they go far down their list, Rebels must find the best fit | Las Vegas Review-Journal
March 26, 201610 yr If this occurred as reported its poor form by Mick. Cronin better hope the Vegas guys don't find out about Curtis Bostic and that whole deal. They will hire Bostic instead just out of spite.
March 26, 201610 yr If you're UNLV, when you're offering the deal they offered, you get a signature before you let Cronin get on that plane. Cronin loved being courted, but letting him come back to Cincinnati to talk to Ono, someone he considers a close friend and Bohn in a city he loves, they knew he wasn't coming back to Vegas. UNLV needs to let this go cause the more they talk about it, the more the next coach will feel like they don't really want him there
