Good article....

Brawl exposes greedy coaches

Xavier head coach Chris Mack deserved the longest suspension. Instead, he?ll parlay Tu Holloway and Mark Lyons into a major-college job and a fat pay raise.
If you expected Mack or Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin to use Saturday?s embarrassing, game-ending Xavier-Cincinnati basketbrawl as a teaching tool for their players, you don?t understand modern-day, major-college athletics.
Coaches are no longer required to pretend they?re interested in ?molding? young men. It?s just win, baby, and move on to your next job and/or contract extension.
With arguably the best backcourt in hoops ? Holloway and Lyons ? No. 8 Xavier has a real opportunity to be this year?s Butler, the mid-major with Final Four talent, and an even better chance of launching Mack into the Big Ten, ACC or Pac-12.
This is no time for Mack to teach Holloway and Lyons about sportsmanship, class and properly representing their university, family, teammates and themselves. This is the time to win at all costs. This is the time to rationalize and make excuses.

Not going to happen. Cronin is not a good coach and his team will be unprepared for FSU tonight. Noles by 20.
I can't hide my hate for Cronin. He is an idiot and his teams are dumber than any team Huggs put on the floor and not nearly as tough.

Dumber than any team Huggins ever fielded? That's like saying you have 100K people who are bigger douchebags than any that have ever sat in M*ch*gan stadium.

It's impossible.

Let me clarify, dumb from a basketball standpoint. Grades are up as are graduation rates...basketball IQ, not so much. I've watched his teams for the last 5 years and they are clueless on the floor most of the time. They don't run offense, the don't know the game situations, the play one on five too much and the coach is shorter than george jefferson. I hate Mick. I hated him at LaSalle, I hated hime as a Huggins assistant, I hated him as a ball boy and I hate him as the head coach of my alma mater.
