Before the Louisville game last week Mick Cronin said he is looking forward to the day that UC can play the Cardinals and West Virginia with the focus being on the game and not the coaches. Maybe next year, because that certainly won't be the case Thursday night. When he met with the media Tuesday afternoon Coach Cronin addressed a number of topics about Bob Huggins return to Cincinnati. One of which is the difficulty of following a man a popular as Huggins.
Coach Cronin left Cincinnati to take a job with Rick Pitino at Louisville. Since then a question that always comes up is, what kind of relationship does he have with his former head coach.
Like most Bearcat fans Mick Cronin thought that Bob Huggins would always be the head coach at UC. As a mater of fact he made a bet with Huggins on that subject and now it's time to pay up.
Notice how Coach Cronin said he made that bet with Huggins while he was the head coach at Murray State. That was years after he left Cincinnati for Louisville. That should help end the "relationship" question, that tells me that they do talk and keep up with each other. Later today we will bring you more from our interview with former Bearcat John Meeker. As a former player he sheds a pretty good light on the return of Coach Huggins as well as looking at this years team.
