Cronin has a 365–170 career record in 13 seasons at Cincinnati and three seasons at Murray State.
UCLA has hired Mick Cronin away from Cincinnati to be its next basketball coach. By Jacob Bogage Jacob Bogage National sports writer and blogger Email Bio Follow April 9 at 2:19 PM UCLA’s 100-day search for a new basketball coach is over. The Bruins on Tuesday tapped Cincinnati’s Mick Cronin to replace interim leader Murry Bartow, ending a saga that displayed how far the once-heralded basketball program has fallen in recent years.
The Bruins began the past season ranked in the top 25 by the Associated Press but lost four straight games — including to Cronin’s Cincinnati team and mid-majors Belmont and Liberty — to end 2018. Athletic Director Dan Guerrero fired coach Steve Alford and installed Bartow to finish out the season. Cronin, at least publicly, was Guerrero’s fourth option but still touts a sturdy resume after 13 seasons at Cincinnati and three before that at Murray State. He has a 365-171 career record and has taken teams to 11 NCAA tournaments, including nine straight years with the Bearcats. His 2011-12 team advanced to the Sweet 16.
