Mick Cronin addresses candidacy for Indiana job amid hot board links

Friday night, UCLA knocked off Indiana in Bloomington. The game came on the backdrop of the Hoosiers’ coaching search, and Mick Cronin’s name has come up on some Hot Boards as a potential replacement for Mike Woodson.

Woodson is planning to step down after this season – his fourth as IU’s head coach. Multiple names have been floated as potential successors, although a big one took his name off the board when Brad Stevens told The Field of 68 he’s happy with the Boston Celtics.

After the game, Cronin addressed his potential candidacy for the job. Specifically, with regard to Hot Boards, he says he makes sure not to look at them. After all, he could easily see another place calling for him to be fired as UCLA head coach.

“Here’s how I look at that stuff,” Cronin said. “You might be on your Hot Boards, they might want my ass fired on our Hot Boards. That’s how I look at that. I stay off the Hot Boards. I’m just telling you, man. That’s just the way it is. You can go from one board to the other real quick – hiring, firing. You know what I’m saying?”
