Mick Cronin lauds loyalty, work ethic of UCLA's seniors after Sweet 16 loss to Gonzaga 

"Tough Whistle" 🤣

a tough whistle?? they had 2 fouls in the 1st half

Heck of a season and senior class! Proud to be a Bruin but I am tired of these tough losses to Gonzaga!! 4s up!

How you react when you are down and out? I am a UCLA fan and the only real comfort I received from our loss to G was from a quote from Wendall Berry: “Be joyful even though you have considered all the facts. “ Note to self to elevate your game: Watch the Gonzaga loss press conference.

Sad after such a great 1st half.

What kind of example are you setting for your players? For real. Sit down angry as hell about having to wait 33 minutes. Try to intimidate reporters and treat them like crap for doing their jobs. Blame the refs. Saying Jaquez got murdered on drives to the hoop with no-calls. Watch the last And-1 he got. Malachi Smith literally backpedaled and put his hands up by his ears so the refs couldn’t claim he committed a foul and they still called it. This man needs to grow up and stop teaching his players that this is how you respond to losses. Shaking my head

As a high school/ college coach of 35 years and father of 3 athletes, I have the highest respect for Coach Cronin. His work ethic and high standards are second to none. He has a father like relationship with his his team, is one of the top recruiters in the World but also has has a line where it's time to work. Watching him coach this year was so much fun and makes me want to dust off the sneakers. I retired 2 years ago 😢. The Bruins are up by 20 and turn the ball over, he's running up and down the sideline calling time out and when the team reaches the huddle, the TV ran out of BLEEPS😂😂. Other coaches get up by 10 and play not to lose. Not Coach Mick. There's a very young assistant who just carries a clipboard on the UCLA bench. I hope that he's writing down everything that he sees and asks alot of questions. This is a goldmine for a young kid. As for Jaime, Tyger and David, you guys represented the UCLA tradition of old.I grew up with Coach Wooden and you guys brought all of that "Fear" back to Pauley. Down the Pac 12 Freshman of the Year and one of if not the best Defensive Player in the Country and lose to Zona by 2 and the Zags by 3 once again on a hail Mary. Sorry but I don't think that a team who depends on one player is a well Ciached team. I'm not taking anything from Drew Timme but I would be embarrassed if it was me. Congratulations to the UCLA BRUINS on a great season. Come back for a 5th season Jaime!!😂 Coach Cronin, you are the best.

Amari Bailey would have been my go-to guy. I don't think he had enough touches in the second half, although he did dribble into some turnovers.

Mickey mouse cronin is a first class DB!

The rebounding was physical I think that’s what he meant by a tough whistle .. Gonzaga picked up the intensity after few ripped thier ass and the season was almost lost

He's an angry Elf !

Cronin didn't use injuries as an excuse like Hardaway

Keep it up mick! I believe our next title is soon to come! Proud of those kids to come back and have a lead with 12 seconds left, all of them have the heart of a lion or I should say a Bruin!

If he think the sweet 16 is good enough fire him now how the fucc you get out rebounded by that much by Gonzaga shit is beyond crazy…

Cronin was such a baby in this postgame interview. I get it, you don't like to lose, but show some class and quit blaming everyone else as the reason you lost a game. Takes all the credit for games they win and blames everyone else when they lose.

U

Haha Cronin crying again

Doubt that coach will ever read this, but why didn’t we play Canka? When we’re as cold as we were, getting bullied on the boards, why didn’t we play a guy who had length and could move and at least shoot? Will McClendon doesn’t look healthy to me still. Thanks for the fun this year!

What a crybaby and mispronouncing Xavier is low class even for him.

Can we just be glad to know that we don't have to see any more games featuring the headband wearing dopes from California or a guy named Tiger? Now, if someone would just bounce UCONN.....

Ahhhhhhhhhh Mickey MOUSE cronin the LOSS could not have happened to a nicer FIRST CLASS PR!CK !!!!!!!!!!!!
