Do they give this year’s JV coach a chance or interview?

They need to clean the whole program and hire someone with head coaching experience!

Today they announced they are going a different route with their basketball coach! Thought on who will replace her?

Hard to lose a Mister Basketball like Carson. I saw this story while ago about it.

Former Kentucky Mr. Basketball Williams asks for release from NKU, intends to transfer | NKyTribune

I heard Notre Dame has gone a different directions for a basketball coach today!

TMC couldn't guard Jake Walter or Fredrick! Ruthsatz is also a D-2 player who is more talented than the TMC D-3 players. I say CovCath would win 73-63!

In literally a bit over a year “The Jake” from Rupp to MSG!

Difference is The Jake can't guard an empty room in college basketball! He looks lost trying to defend anybody!

Any truth to the rumor about Harmon coming to CCH

I was told either Cov Cath, Trinity or Prep school!

Plus he can get farther away from the Ball family. lol

Truth here!

You can't catastrophe without c...a...t...s - Bear - c..a...t...s. lol

My guess is ahead of Steve Alford.

You don't fly in from LA to Ky. unless something is about to happen. And Louisville just won a NIT game tonight too. Something is up.

Probably after the coaching moves down the stretch they may be going a different direction now.

Alford would be a good choice for Louisville if they go that direction. Good recruiter, Indiana ties. It sounds like a winner for both, he's a proven coach too.

UK!

If Louisville had not messed around and won tonight they could have named Mack as the new coach by Tuesday.:idunno:

Word in Louisville is Steve Alford is interviewing there Monday. How does Mack figure in if that's the case?

Bob Huggins is 100 times the coach Cronin is. Look at WVU tonight, they took it to a outmanned team. UC just played soft after getting a big lead and gagged at the end when it's winning time. That is a on Cronin, not the players. A lot of UC people tonight are wishing they had Huggins back and Cronin was back at Murray State.

Not a UC fan in the least. And Mick not going anywhere assures all UC fans they will never win, see post #70. Making the tourney is nice every year only to flame out...more power to them.

As a UK fan, I hope Cronin stays at UC forever. Lol. He's a terrible ambassador for the school and a worse bench coach. They had some players this year, no doubt. But they play in a terrible conference and the AAC has no teams alive after the first weekend of NCAA play. No big-time school would take Cronin as coach anyway.

Little man syndrome on full display!

Another bad look for Cronin. His antics after the Xavier game this season and cursing at another team's player should have been worthy of disciplinary measures from UC upper brass, this answer to a simple question from the softball-question-throwing Cincy media is embarrassing for UC too. Cronin is a jerk of a person and he deserves everything bad that happened today. Great job by Nevada!

After seeing all the games this week, I truly believe the state finals were played in the 9th region semis between CCH and Cooper. The 9th has had a heck of a run the last 5 years. 3 different teams to reach the Semis 2 Championships and 1 Runner Up.

You obviously did not watch the CovCath/Fern Creek game. Fern Creek had a better team that Cooper. Nothing against Cooper, CovCath just playing great right now. If they had played against Cooper the way they did today CovCath wins by 25 points.

Playing on Sunday is killing attendance for the championship. They need to go to Saturday night. Period. Move it back one day during the week. And having the girls play in Rupp Arena is just a horrible idea. But the boys need to play the championship on Saturday night. That would help.

I am getting my Popcorn ready about People giving me grief about CJ Frederick!🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

Jake Walter has never fouled anybody in his life...

Such a hater!

Why turn this thread negative? Everything posted in this thread has been good positive talk and accolades. This post does not bring one postive thing to CJ, CCH or this thread.

 

Please, everyone else, leave the above post alone and let's stay focused on the good stuff.

Nothing Negative at all! Wins Gatorade player of the year! Putting up great numbers at State! NKY players don’t get respect because we only have one media person that vote!

It’s crazy the stats CJ is putting up down at Rupp!

The winner of Mr Basketball( Not saying he is a bad player) didn’t even make it to the Sweet 16 and CJ is putting numbers up like this! I begin to wonder about the voting!
