Paul Daugherty: Thank you for bringing UC basketball back, Mick Cronin

Thank you, Mick Cronin.

Thank you for looking at an impossible situation and seeing a realistic opportunity. The ghost of 2006 died at your hand. Thank you.

Thank you for taking a proud, profoundly tarnished program and restoring some sheen. You didn’t do everything everyone wanted. But in 13 seasons, you made “anything’s possible’’ possible again.

The clot of un-realists will scream that your teams never overachieved when, in fact, your first three teams did so heroically, and your last team did the same.
