UCLA's Cronin rips refs after ejection: 'Tired of it'

Three days after ripping his team following a home loss to Michigan, UCLA coach Mick Cronin turned his disdain toward the officials after being ejected at Maryland.

I know it’s not the coaches fault but UCLA chose this. Also Maryland was out last weekend at Washington and Oregon so it works both ways.

Rick gave Mick a break hiring him, so maybe try to set up ooc games w him. A trip to West Coast, net of the horrible situation out there now, is usually fun. Rick v Mick a good watch too.

UCLA is a team I've always eyed once we hired Rick. They play similarly also, so it would be a great test for our team's toughness and defense. They would also draw at MSG and likely be a network game. Do a home and home. I'm sure there's scheduling opportunities where it may actually be helpful for them because of their idiotic B10 schedule anyway

If Maryland playing UCLA in a Big10 game isn't one of the worst examples of all that's wrong with college bball these days, well, I don't know what is.

do you think by adding another cross country trip helps them?

They came here for a game against UNC at MSG. The Big 10 has paired their east coast trips (@Penn St/Maryland/Rutgers) with a game on Friday and another on Sunday. We can be doing them a favor, if anything, by giving them a MSG game on a Friday or Sunday if they are coming here for only one game next year.
