I wish him the best and he is young enough to get another coaching job after his stint at Alabama inevitably fails. It is very hard to succeed at the football schools that don't have any real basketball legacy.
I think this is a good hire for them.
I thought it was a weird hire. Granted he s done well record wise but he doesn’t seem to be a good fit personality and logistically speaking. I don’t know who would be a good hire for Bama to be honest. Maybe Kyle flood?I wish him the best and he is young enough to get another coaching job after his stint at Alabama inevitably fails.

He played and coached at a very Christian college in Wisconsin... maybe he’ll fit in.I thought it was a weird hire.

So much for signing an extension meaning anything in today's world.
Agreed. Pike's buyout is in the millionsBuffalo screwed it up themselves------give a hot guy a 5 year deal and put his buyout at 750k ?
Bama spends that on Wings for the Training Table during Spring Ball.
Charlie Henry who was an assistant coach with Hoiberg at ISU and with the Bulls and is now the Bulls G League head coach is coming to NU as an assistant as well.
Why has he gone backwards career-wise?Wonder if Rick Stansbury at Western Kentucky was considered for the Alabama job? Former coach at Mississippi State who won an SEC title.
He makes Pearl look clean and hasn’t had nearly as much success.Why has he gone backwards career-wise?

Has Bruce Pearl won an SEC title? Pearl is a terrific coach and has a great eye for talent. So does Stansbury. Stansbury is an accomplished coach. Pretty successful, too. If you’re not cheating you’re not competing is the SEC’s motto.He makes Pearl look clean and hasn’t had nearly as much success.
I don't really think that's a good fit. I can't imagine Mrs. Musselman enjoying living in Fayetteville.
With his hire and the VT hire, it seems to me that coaches are smartening up on going to tough jobs when they are already in a good place.Cronin fleeing the AAC:
Cronin fleeing the AAC:
I just can’t see the fit between these two. Cronin is a very good coach but his style doesn’t really have the flash that I think the UCLA folks would like to see on the court. Just seems like an odd choice for Hollywood to me. But then again, I’m a dumbass so maybe it’s perfect.
UCLA was very successful under Ben Howland and they weren’t flashy at all. Winning cures all.Winning will solve that problem. He is not flashy by any means but as the old saying goes, you start winning games & UCLA has not been winning for some time by their standards & they will get behind him. I think he accomplished all he could at Cincy & so this move made sense.

UCLA still expects Wooden like results from every one of their HCs hired after he retiredExcept they chased Howland away after he went to multiple Final 4's & recruited guys like Westbrook & Love
Cronin fleeing the AAC:
Cronin is a very good coach, but strange hire for UCLA. They canned a very successful Ben Howland (3 Final 4's, including 1 championship game) because he played a boring brand of defense-first basketball. Cronin is largely in the same mold.
