Mick Cronin, looking forward to his 500th win, reflects on his coaching journey, starting from his breakthrough at Murray State. As he prepares for a pivotal game against Minnesota, much of the focus rests on this milestone. His players, aware of the significance, rally to support their coach. With 499 wins under his belt, Cronin's rise in college basketball showcases both his coaching acumen and dedication to teamwork. He emphasizes the joy of coaching over numerical achievements while preparing for a near-retirement performance at UCLA.
As a coach, you're always chasing that next milestone, but today is about more than just numbers. It's about what we achieve as a team.
I always wanted to make it in coaching, but I never realized it would come to be this successful. It's been some journey.
For me, hitting 500 is incredible, but it’s really about the players I've coached and the moments we've shared along the way.
When you're young in this profession, you're just trying to survive. Getting to this point exceeds any expectations I had.
