Seen him play, he is short but well built, very quick, and looks to be a strong leader too

Nice shot too

But Cronin is at least as good as Alford, and he's probably going to give UCLA tougher, more disciplined teams. It's not an A-level hire, but it's probably a B/B- level. Let’s say wiretaps were published in January and Sean Miller is on tape talking about money for recruits so UA goes ahead and fir...

Ucla could have hired pitino. As dirty as that would have felt, it would have been a far better hire Really, though? Aside from the big name recognition and the short-lived media blitz, why is Pitino a better hire? He's got more baggage than almost any active coach. Cronin wasn't their top choice, ...

Newportcat

Ucla should have either grown some balls and hired Pitino or hired Russ turner Both are far better options then some nobody that you paying a shit load of money too Newport, even Nevada isn't even interested in your friend, sorry. Yeah because Nevada is stupid and they are going to hire a major ret...

Mick Cronin is a nobody

Awful hire for UCLA. All that money for a nobody

Newportcat

Hey so...yeah dumpster fire

I really do not know what to say

NCAA tournament is awesome like Vegas pool parties are awesome. But there is zero substance to it. It is pure candy and to me it is a dogshit way to determine a true champion. So much luck is involved I love it but hate it. Now keep in mind, I say this as a Arizona basketball fan where the tournamen...

Now can they hire Russ turner from UCI

At this rate he might turn down the job though!

Newportcat

Actually turned into an enjoyable game!

Thank god this season is over

https://twitter.com/wbir/status/1115295898207174656 You were saying Chicat???? I won't be surprised if Barnes isn't the last coach to use UCLA like a Cheap Whore to extort a raise out of their employer. I still don’t think he’s trying to soak the Vols. UCLA’s interest seems genuine as opposed to Ba...

Newportcat

Not much to add except to circle back to Miller and the fans’ treatment of him when he had his flirtations with another job. If Cal can side flirt on Kentucky (denials be damned) . . . I don’t know. I just never understood the outrage even when it was happening real time. Miller leaving was differe...

Newportcat

I'm beginning to understand why they ended up with Alford last time this job was open. They should've gone after Nate Oats of Buffalo at the outset, or someone similar. Texas Tech did their homework (and maybe UNLV did too) on Brad Beard at Arkansas Little Rock. That's the kind of coach you target....

I don't think $5 million in LA is worth it if UT counters with anything close. Traffic, taxes, headaches of LA, and most of all the unrealistic expectations of UCLA. Why subject yourself to that? Knoxville is a fun college town with a enough sophistication without being a pain in the ass to live in...

Rick Barnes, the same Rick Barnes who has 2 peaked at 2 elite 8's and no FFs? Barnes had a FF with Texas the year Syracuse won. To Newportcat's point, are we sure Heeke will nail.it where Guerrero has struggled? Do we even think Heeke will get the chance? My money is on a donor-led search committee...

Newportcat

I am not sure if the UCLA coaching search has taught me to be nervous if Miller ever leaves or we fire him

I think it’s taughg me that dan Guerrero is beyond incompetent and the UCLA job is nowhere near an elite job anymore

I mean offering caliparit less money was stupidity at its finest

Maybe an elder statesman who knows his way around a big athletic department is just what they need right now. He’ll recruit well. Barnes at UCLA is good for the Pac, imo. They could hire you and recruiting would not be a problem. Recruiting has never been the issue with UCLA. Very true UCLA basketb...

Newportcat

I mean that feels like a good hire in some ways but a little meh in other ways

Clearly they wanted an established coach

Newportcat

Did I just read they hired Rick Barnes?

Newportcat

Do what we do SCC... Totally, feels like their is a path with the Packline but its with the way Tony Bennett has done it, not with one and dones Will say packline does make college basketball almost unwatchable. Those games yesterday were fucking awful to watch NBA games are so much more entertaining

Newportcat

Wow I was depressed after reading that article and I hate ucla basketball Increasingly, UCLA hoops and football (and Berkeley) are beginning to more resemble programs at other UCs. With the exceptions of Irvine (this year) and Santa Barbara (here and there in the past), how often have you discovere...

Didn't even know there was a women's NIT. So does this mean they finish the year ranked #65? :lol: Congrats nonetheless. Considering the women's team has pretty much been the worst program in the conference for a decade, this is a pretty big deal. Yep we are sadly talking worst program in every sin...

Newportcat

Man, when did this team learn to pitch?

Great sweep

Newportcat

god college basketball is fucking ugly to watch nowadays

Newportcat

Yep we are sadly talking worst program in every single sport at every single level (including club and intramurals!) in the conference. It had become so so so so so bad. I could have sworn we won a national championship in a womens sport last year. Silly me. We did in Women's golf But our Women's b...

Dan Guerrero is a fucking moron. I can’t understand why UCLA alums/boosters put up with that guy. Go all in on beard, Bennett, and if not, go romer or uci and call it a day.

Jesus christ UCLA can not even hire Jamie Dixon

Just wow

Just hire Russ Turner from UCI and call it a day.

Or I heard Kevin Oniell is available

How incompetent is Dan G?

I did not even know TCU had a basketball program until yesterday

Newportcat

I suppose the counterargument is "Dixon isn't a retread." Like, has he ever been fired? Don't think so. So while the hire isn't exactly Bugtastic in the way Bruin fans were fantasizing about, they could've done worse. But I guess that's just the point: good programs shouldn't have to settle for "he...
