“Our team attitude was terrible – it’s been a problem for a month. It affects performance. Get in a ring against somebody that wants to fight, give them confidence early – you’re in for a fight.” Coach Cronin, speaking after Tuesday’s game in San Francisco

He nailed this post game press conference except for his lack of recognition of Trent Perry’s play. Dent is clearly at the core of his angst and correctly so. Playing for NIL money, not to win a natty. Bad attitude leading to bad play.

Cronin time to walk away from the program. Clearly not coaching these kids up. Bad recruiter and doesn’t run no offense.

I’ve always loved Mick as a coach, but I’m baffled. Why is the team attitude horrible, like he says? Coaches and players need to look in the mirror and reflect on whether they are living up to Coach Wooden’s “make each day your masterpiece…”

Fire @MartinJarmond and that bald leprechaun Cronin too!!!

Love this man and coach. He’s right! No leadership. Sky??? Cmon

Recruits don’t want to play for this guy . Look at the past few recruiting classes . Time to move on from Cronin .

You cannot lose to Cal...in anything.

But who’s fault is that? Seems to me that the coach is responsible for creating and maintaining a winning attitude as well as winning performance. 🤔

Would hate to play for this guy.

Attitude starts with the coach . His is terrible . Not a leader at all of young men .

How about his own attitude? Most everyone would agree is terrible too

Does Cronin do any evaluation when he recruits players? Seems like he’s always complaining about his teams every year.

Mick...attitude starts at the top

Time to start shopping around for a new coach

@CoachMickCronin Down 8 with 30 seconds left, why don’t you foul? If they miss free throws and you hit a 3 you’re still in the game. Give the players a chance to win. This isn’t UCLA basketball

When every year but different players have the same problems, maybe there's a common denominator...

Why would anyone play for this level of misery?

Dent had no business starting or playing...He was injured from the start, and it was apparent!

Wow! Can't fathom why attitudes amongst UCLA players would be terrible ...

Cronin in the corner. He’s an angry little elf.

Cronins recruiting is the problem not attitude. No wing depth and no dominant bigs equals quick exit in March. Dent never shouldve played due to injury. He hurt Ucla.

Something about taking great talent and shit talking them every day in the media destroys attitude. I blame Cronin.

Oh it is the players fault. Again. This is a consistent thing

College basketball is about grit, toughness, passion, and love for your school/teammates. I don’t see this right now with this team. I see a bunch of players just worried about “NIL” aka $$

Love how this angry dwarf always acts like he’s been in a fight before. Shoo fly.

$3 million for 3 points. Money well spent, Mick!

Sounds like a coaching issue, maybe move on a hire someone who is good…..

Here it is .

Maybe the issue is that Cronin struggles to recruit the best talent, maybe it's that simple. I've watched a ton of basketball during Thanksgiving holiday games. The Bruins just don't pass the eye test.

why UCLA keeps this dude around is beyond me but as an AZ fan please keep him forever.

Football basketball. Enough said.
