March 5, 201016 yr I just talked to UC athletic director Mike Thomas, who confirmed that Mick Cronin would return next season for his fifth season as head coach. “Coach Cronin is our coach now and he’ll be our coach next year,” Thomas said. “I’m committed to seeing Cincinnati basketball be the best it can be. The university is behind coach Cronin and the team. “I’m an impatient person and I know the Bearcat Nation is impatient, but I think the needle is headed in the right direction.” http://cincinnati.com/blogs/uc/2010/03/05/cronin-will-return-next-year/
March 5, 201016 yr Does anyone think basketball wise it was a bad move for Cinncinatti to move to the Big East? They just aren't on the same level right now year in and year out with Syracuse, Villanova, Georgetown, UConn, UL, West Virginia, etc.
March 5, 201016 yr I think its because they no longer have Huggy Bear as the Coach. If Huggins was still there they would be at or near the top. Just like to drink and drive too much there
March 5, 201016 yr Author Your thoughts on this GT? He deserves at least one and likely two more years to show he can go from the rebuilding phase to the next level of making the tournament on a regular basis and finishing in the top half of the league. If Lance does stay for another year I think they should be back to that level...

They just aren't on the same level right now year in and year out with Syracuse, Villanova, Georgetown, UConn, UL, West Virginia, etc. It was the handling of the Huggins situation, a self imposed death penalty and moving to the Big East all hitting at the same time that has created the situation UC is in right now. If the progress over the last 4 years continues the program will be just fine...

Appears to have worked out quite well.
March 5, 201016 yr I think the move to the B-East was more of a football motivated move. Appears to have worked out quite well. Or just a money motivated move. Moving from a mid major conference to a major one is a no-brainer.
March 5, 201016 yr I wish he'd have stayed at Murray State Me too, although Mick already had one foot out the door before he even coached his first game.
March 5, 201016 yr I wish he'd have stayed at Murray State Kennedy is doing a nice job and there is not nearly as many outside distractions going on either.
March 6, 201016 yr Author Nothing like following up the old vote of confidence with a complete and total disaster of a performance the next day... :ohbrother:
