I don't have a problem with Cronin doing what it takes (within reason) to get the most out of his team. My problem is, whatever he is doing, it is not working. The team is regressing. The hallmark of a good coach is he/she pushes the right buttons to get the team to excel. Cronin is struggling in that department. I am not saying he shoul…
I don't have a problem with Cronin doing what it takes (within reason) to get the most out of his team. My problem is, whatever he is doing, it is not working. The team is regressing. The hallmark of a good coach is he/she pushes the right buttons to get the team to excel. Cronin is struggling in that department. I am not saying he should be fired--he has demonstrated he knows how to coach. But, like the rest of the team, he as had a very bad season.
she still won't say exactly the specific behavior that Cronin considers unacceptable. I've counted about 8 or 9 times people have asked in various threads and no response. Just this mysterious "unacceptable" because. Kinda sad.
Actually Evan your accusation is false. Why don't you see the quote I posted from Bolch and the Plaschke article link. Why don't you read the Bolch article and see all the degrading remarks from Cronin. Why don't you take time to read Plaschke's piece. I agree with their assessment of Cronin.
As I anticipated you would attack me. Your behavior toward me is not warranted.
If he weren't involved in basketball, Coach Cronin could make a good drill sergeant. His angry, in-your-face, military/dojo style of coaching is probably what makes most of his teams so competitive and resilient. I can see how his demeanor and handling of his players and the press might offend some folks, but it's his halting, plodding, iso-ball-oriented offense that is often so ugly and agonizing to watch, particularly when his team is unable to score.

THAT is the unacceptable behavior?!?!?!
How about making ugly faces and scowling on the sidelines when a player makes a mistake?
Now THAT is unacceptable. Fire for cause. Don't even pay the buyout. What a mean guy!
LOL.
