Speaker 2: Holking out.

14
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: We are certainly gonna find out how much goodwill Mick

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: Cronin has with UCLA over his NCAA tournament runs from

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: the early twenty twenties After tonight, who you know what,

17
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: He's not their biggest problem, though, he's their most research.

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: But they got other stuff going on too. Jason, Yeah,

19
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: how long has Tom been coaching? Since nineteen fifty? In

20
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: the words of Tom Izzough, He's never seen that. No,

21
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. I haven't seen a college basketball ever.

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: Tonight Mick Cronin of UCLA throws one of his own

23
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: players out of the game after he commits a hard

24
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: foul near the end of Michigan State's blowout win over UCLA.

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 3: Right, Michigan State wins big, and the game is no

26
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 3: longer in doubt. It's the final score is eighty two

27
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 3: fifty two fifty nine. It wasn't close, right, it was

28
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 3: it was it was out of control early. Maybe this

29
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: is what got McK cronin man. But then again, Mick

30
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 3: cronin gets mad at everything. He maybe blamed the fans

31
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: for a loss last year.

32
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: And near the end of the game tonight, you know,

33
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: UCLA is pressing, trying, hoping against hope to try to

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: get back in this and Michigan State throws a big

35
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: baseball pass and it's It goes down.

36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: Court to Carson Cooper, who had a pretty good game

37
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: as senior. He had twelve points tonight, and he gets

38
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: fouled from behind by former MSU student Stephen Jamerson. Right,

39
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 3: so he thousand from behind, nearly gets the ball, but

40
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 3: kind of a dirty play.

41
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Okay, not quite supposed to do that, but all right,

42
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: it's one of those unwritten rules. Yeah, but if I'm

43
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: down too, or if I'm up to isn't that the

44
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: gritty play that you want for the guy? It's a gridino,

45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: but legitimately I'm asking legit instead of giving up an

46
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: uncontested dunk. Yeah no, no, no sure yeah no. I

47
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: so like, I just think it's a guy playing as

48
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: if the score is tied. I mean, really, you know,

49
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: sometimes you want to see something done that way, where

50
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: it is a more of a safe foul where I

51
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: wrap my arms around the guy.

52
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 3: But then then with the way flagrant fowls are called. Now, look,

53
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: he's trying it. He's trying to find a way to

54
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: get the ball and make a play. Now, fouling guy

55
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: from behind not the coolest thing.

56
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: I get it. If you want to talk to him

57
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: about it, you want to spiritedly talk about it on

58
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: the floor. I understand that. But Mick Cronin just loses

59
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: his mind and injects his own player, just keeps pointing

60
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: at Jamerson to leave. Yell, get the blank out, Get

61
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: the blank out. I felt bad for the kid. I

62
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: felt bad for U. C l A. I because because

63
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: Mick Pronin took the situation and just made it worse

64
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: and instead of Hey we lost, here's a foul from behind.

65
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: Wasn't that big a deal? Nobody really thought it was

66
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: that big a deal. You want to apologize the Tom

67
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: Mizzo on the handshake line after the game? Sure, Hey, Tom,

68
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: sorry about that play near the end. They know I'm

69
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: not supposed to fail from behind him and it talks

70
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: about it. Tom was gonna say, yeah, that's fine because

71
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: Cooper was fine. Nothing happened to him, he was, he

72
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: was okay. Again, he's a little agitated, as he should be.

73
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: But I get it because he falls kind of awkwardly.

74
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: But again, dude did make contact with the ball.

75
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: But yeah, but in the end, like if you can

76
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: get up and draw with the guy, I think you're over.

77
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 3: So it's just embarrassing on all levels. Is Mick Cronin

78
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: trying to get fired?

79
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 4: Is he?

80
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's just insane, right? And I see

81
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 3: him and I go, what what he trying to do?

82
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: Like all the headlines Mick Cronin's had the last couple

83
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: of years have all been really just embarrassing headlines for UCLA.

84
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it's it's it's an awful look as a coach.

85
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: He's he's talking and is Zoe saying, is seventy one

86
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: years old? Okay, that guy's been at Michigan State forever.

87
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: And for him to say, with all the games he's coached,

88
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: all the games he's watched, he's never seen it at

89
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: any level of basketball. You and I have watched countless

90
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: games just in the studio together through the years, let

91
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: alone the years before we got paired up here at

92
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. And I've never seen a coach. And

93
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of coaches that you take issue with

94
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: their history right there, He's like, all right, coach k shot,

95
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: like anybody assodiate with Duke. You don't like court storming, Okay, cool,

96
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: chock up got him? Not like it? Right, terrible thing, egregious,

97
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: horrible thing. Uh. And you can go coach to coach.

98
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: There's plenty of things that they've they've been mad about.

99
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: Mick Cronin's got a lot of things. He's mad at

100
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: the world, right, mad at his own yeah, mad at

101
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: the Big Ten, mad at the scheduler. It's like your

102
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: school joined the Big Ten. You realize that there's schools

103
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: from on the other end of the country. There's gonna

104
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: be a little bit of travel involved. And it's gonna

105
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: make some scheduling art.

106
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 3: I would just tell mc cronin and listen. You know,

107
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: you guys joined the Big Ten just to get paid.

108
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: You're not gonna win anything in this conference, in any sport,

109
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: but you're getting paid.

110
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: So that's why you're here. Just understand that. I understand, right,

111

157
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: That was really good.

158
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: That that really did channels? Are you raising your voice?

159
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: Home runs? Ago? Did he have eight RBIs nine nine

160
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: R eyes? The town knows you're are you?

161
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 3: And now I want to go back because I don't

162
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: really know if the guy was raising his voice. So

163
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: because what happened was it sounded like he asked the

164
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: question about the student section a specific chant, and Mick

165
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: Cronin interrupts by saying, Hey, I not want to talk

166
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 3: about it. But then I feel like he's the one

167
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: that brings it back up. So let's do it one

168
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: more time. Go back to the beginning of the preparation.

169
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: Do you really think I care about.

170
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: The other I don't make you care about.

171
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: The other your voice? Come on, dude, I mean this

172
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: is what are you gonna take a dude? Come on,

173
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean he's not raising his voice, he's just his

174
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: voice got higher. Raising your voices? I think you better

175
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: answer me about the student section question. When you start

176
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: sounding like Darth Vader. If this is a counselorship, where

177
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: is the ambassador? I mean, come on, do you really

178
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: think I care about the other?

179
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 2: I don't make you care about the other.

180
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: Do you want to fight? You want to You're saying

181
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: you want a piece of me. I want the whole.

182
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: Damn he's frank by the way, I'm not even kidding.

183
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: The return of Bruce.

184
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: Willis here looking at the guy. You want a piece

185
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: of me, Let's go then let like he's gonna pull

186
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: out a blade and go, let's dance. Don tell you

187
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: he did this interview barefoot with cuts all over his feet.

188
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: Next level stuff. Maybe really, dude, d dude, get control

189
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 3: of yourself. Man, nobody was raising their voice to you.

190
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 3: You you attacked him for his question. His voice got higher,

191
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 3: which happens when hey look, sometimes people's voices get high.

192
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 3: But raising your voice is like I'm gonna fight you.

193
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 3: That's not what any.

194
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: Of this was.

195
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: You need to just chill and you just calm down

196
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 3: for five seconds. I get you're mad and you're keyed up,

197
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 3: but wow, you are doing nobody any favors. Let alone

198
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: yourself with your behavior. After this game, you think UCLA

199
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 3: is gonna come out in the Ada and say, hey, man,

200
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 3: wait to put that reporter in his place.

201
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: Are you in your voice with me? Are you raising

202
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: your voice? Are you raising your voice? Did you say

203
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: that to me? Did you say did you just say

204
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: that to me? Did you? Why am I so funny?

205
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: How am I? Am I a cloud? I'm here to

206
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: amuse you? How the bike? Am I so funny? I

207
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: mutter and stuttering. Yeah, for Mick Cronin, he made a

208
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: bad situation a million times worse. Yeah, finally again you

209
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: can just say, like, I'm not worried about the student section.

210
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna chant, move on. What else you got but

211
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: to go down the old That's the worst question I

212
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: ever got. All right, I don't wear it? Yeah, you

213
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: should wear it? Yeah, And you do take that because

214
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: it was the worst, Like why are you picking a

215
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: fight with the reporter? I mean, here, let's hear it

216
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: again from the beginning, and here he is answering his

217
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 1: question about the student section. Focus your thought from the

218
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: student section, channing Booker's name, I could give a.

219
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: Rat's action about the other team student section. I just

220
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 2: got to overall the way I would like to give

221
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 2: you a kudos for your worst question.

222
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: I had been asked, did you like the should take it?

223
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: The preparation? Do you really think I care about.

224
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 2: The other I don't think you care about the other question?

225
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: Your voice? No, you are Come on, dude, Come on,

226
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: they asked you were everybody's standing here listening to you.

227
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: Everybody this is on camera, they can hear you. I

228
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: answered the question. I could give a rat's ass about

229
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: the other team student section.

230
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: I coach UCLA, and I don't care about in Michigan

231
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: State students.

232
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: And me who cares?

233
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: Mack? Come on, really, Mick, now you want to talk

234
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: about here like he's having revision his history while it's

235
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: going on. I answered your question, you asked, He answered

236
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: the question. He asked question, what do you the Michigan

237
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: to the student section? I could give a rats ask

238
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: about the student section. Right then, somebody else jumps in

239
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: with a question, goes, do you wait, do you really

240
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: think I care about? Like I'm I'm provoking a fight

241
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: with you. The other guy starts asking about preparation. Okay,

242
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: go answer that question instead. You you turn back to

243
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: the student section. So if I'm that reporter, I'm the

244
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: next reporter it's like, so that really did bother you.

245
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: The student section really got to you, because clearly you

246
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: didn't want to talk about anything else once that got

247
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: brought up here. Coach, I really I don't know, man.

248
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 3: I mean, Mick Cronin's done a lot for UCLA, Like,

249
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: you know, he comes in and they had a couple

250
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 3: of their you know, crazy runs, sure, you know, and

251
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: it obviously came to it, you know, the big miracle

252
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 3: shot by Gonzaga. It's like, oh my goodness, come on, man, really,

253
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 3: but like at this point, like how much more goodwill

254
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 3: does he have? Like you're gonna the bottom of that

255
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: magic sock drawer gets empty at some point, and after

256
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: tonight it's almost like you are you cut a hole

257
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: in the bottom of that sock drawer that's got everything

258
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 3: in it. And I don't know, I don't know what's

259
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 3: gonna happen after this. I don't know, because UCLA is

260
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: there are certain schools that when something like this happens,

261
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 3: it gets blown off. And this this is coach right

262
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 3: when when you're a big blue blood school, like if

263
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 3: if if you're the head coach at say Kentucky, or

264
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 3: if you're a Texas if you're a North Carolina You're okay, hey, coach.

265
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: Lost it a little bit.

266
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 3: But this is you know, we we run things here.

267
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 3: This is this is uh, this is this is our

268
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: blue blood here in in in Kentucky and Kansas, and

269
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 3: this is how we run things.

270
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: We're the ones. We do whatever we want. But U

271
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 1: c l A.

272
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 3: It's a little bit different, right. Westwood is a whole

273
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 3: other animal when it comes to this. And this is

274
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 3: where you you get you know, the A D and

275
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 3: and and and and regents getting money?

276
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: Go hey, what what? What? What are you doing? Man?

277
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 3: You just threw your kid and you threw your kid,

278
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 3: threw the kid under the bus at the end of

279
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 3: the game by kicking them out when you didn't need

280
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: to kick them out of the game. You could have

281
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 3: sat them down on the bench taking care of it after.

282
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 3: Now you take on a reporter. It sounds like you

283
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: wanted to fight him after it was over.

284
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: What are you doing? Man?

285
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 3: Do you do you need some time off? Do you

286
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 3: need do you need some time away? Do you need

287
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: some time Do you need to take a couple of

288
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,599
Speaker 3: games off, take a week off? Do you need to

289
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 3: go to some kind of anger management training? And and

290
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 3: have that Do you need that right now? Because that's

291
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 3: what it seems like you need. It's a terrible, terrible look.

292
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: And again it's the latest in a long line of

293
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: you know, scratch my head, what the hell is Mick

294
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: cronin talking about complaining about, Like if you don't like

295
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: the job and the pressures. Look, because it's it's not

296
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: an easy schedule. We'll all stipulate to that. There's a

297
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: lot of travel, a lot of stunted stuff. But let's

298
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: not also pretend that all of these guys are or

299
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: high level scholars anymore. Like we've that student athlete thing

300
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: got blown out the door years ago, so we pushed

301
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: that aside. And even if they are doing it the

302
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: earnest work, there's plenty of time in a day around practices,

303
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: flights on flights to get your rest and whatever else

304
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: a little harder, but yes, plenty of opportunity. But for

305
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: mc cronin, it just seems like he tries to go

306
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: swing at windmills whenever he gets a chance. In this reporter,

307
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: he has a pretty innocuous question on the grand scale,

308
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: right student section active get after you fair question, right,

309
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,480

Speaker 1: in a movie. Man, I wasn't alive when Napoleon lived.

348
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: This has gotta be what it was like, right, Okay? Sure,

349
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: little man comply comes to College Buckets on a Tuesday,

350
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: had Waterlonapillion did surrender? Look Mick Cronin absolutely you know.

351
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: He throws his own player out of the game tonight,

352
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,959
Speaker 1: which is ridiculous and embarrassing for UCLA. Then goes out

353
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: a reporter who asked him a question after the game

354
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: about the Michigan State student section, then tries to incite

355
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: him to fight him, like like, like I said a

356
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: few minutes ago, like there's certain places where the head

357
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: coach is protected in in big college basketball markets, whether

358
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: it's Louisville, Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, like it happens. But

359
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: UCLA and Westwood it's different, man, It's it's peace and

360
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: love and Bill Walton, Oh the pyramid of success that

361
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: we have at you say, I don't know what pyramid

362
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: mccronin is sitting at right now. I don't know if

363
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: he's at the top of the pyramid or at the

364
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: very bottom of the pyramid. I don't know where he's at.

365
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: But like that, that's the what he did there. That

366
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: doesn't fly at UCLA. Certain schools, certain things fly, and

367
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: certain things don't fly. That reaction him throwing a player

368
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: out and then yelling at the report, that's not going

369
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: to fly. I mean, I mean, I wonder if we're

370
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: gonna find out tomorrow.

371
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 3: Here is Mick cronin taking a leave from UCLA for

372
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks, whatever it is, because he's he's

373
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 3: just angry. When Tom Izzo who's been coaching since nineteen ten. Okay,

374
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 3: when when they didn't even have the peach baskets the

375
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 3: bottoms cut out yet, how do you get the ball

376
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 3: back on it?

377
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: Oh, let's get the peach basket the bottom out. We'll

378
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: come right out.

379
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 3: When he says I've never seen anything like that in

380
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 3: college basketball. When Tom Izzo is saying that, man, but

381
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 3: you threw your own player out of the game just

382
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 3: because he committed a hard foul, I mean, what are

383
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 3: you doing? Like, really, I wonder is Mick Cronin gonna

384
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 3: finish this season as the coach or is he gonna

385
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: be told to take a leave or something like something

386
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: like that's gonna happen?

387
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: Is okay?

388
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: Because it just seemed completely irrational on a whole other

389
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: Now you got your ass kicked, Yeah right, let's not.

390
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,239
Speaker 1: Let's not forget the base of all of this is

391
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 1: they got drum man, they got boat race at SPARTI uh.

392
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: And then you get the file, you get the ejected

393
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: and then you get the interaction with the reporter, which

394
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: I have now watched about fifteen times. Just all right,

395
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: making sure this is not Ai, this is not made up,

396
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: this is this is him really getting mad at again?

397
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: Tell me there's not a little Bruce willis there?

398
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 2: Oh?

399
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: No, I know there certainly is. Just when he gets

400
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: that look, especially because he's not looking at the guy,

401
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: when he turns his head to the reporter and gets

402
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: that look like he's he's it's straight out of pulp fiction,

403
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: like he's gonna beat his hand. Good thoughts to Bruce

00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: this is what this is.

430
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 3: I wouldn't even be upset, you know, honestly, this is

431
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 3: like how it used to happen for coaches in the

432
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 3: sixties and seventies who would coach for a long time,

433
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 3: see success and then all of a sudden they melt

434
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 3: down about stuff and they have to go like that's

435
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 3: how it went. Like that's that's how it went for

436
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 3: Woody Hayes, right, you know he hit a player on

437
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 3: the sideline, right, Like that's how went. Like, all of

438
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 3: a sudden after this, like you melt down and now

439
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 3: you gotta go right like that, that's kind of the

440
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 3: like all of a sudden, Mick kron in.

441
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: The last year, it's been whoa, whoa.

442
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 3: Whoa, not that he ever did any I'm not just

443
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 3: say I'm just trying to give you an example of

444
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 3: someone who hey, coach for a long time and all

445
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 3: of a sudden snapped, and like he's basically been snapping

446
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 3: over the course of the last year.

447
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: But this is just the latest in the long geach

448
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: for those just joining us or new to the story.

449
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: Right as he throws this guy out, goes after this reporter,

450
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: but you've got the history again. A lot of time

451
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: spent at the podium, not talking about his players, not

452
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: but more lamenting the fact that they're in the Big ten. Yeh,

453
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: travel schedules and all these other things. Like he's going

454
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: out of his way to just be the most miserable

455
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: at the job. It's like, if you don't if you

456
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: don't want to coach in the Big ten, quit, Yeah,

457
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: you signed that six year extension and twenty to I

458
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: know you want to eke it out, uh and see

459
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: what's next. But fine, go go to a lesser division

460
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: where there's no travel and you just get on a

461
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: bus tour like you're in the minor leagues. I mean,

462
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: look and this happened on the big stage. It was

463
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:12,440

517
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,520
