Cronin will return as head coach next season

University of Cincinnati Athletic Director Mike Thomas said Friday, March 5, that men's head basketball coach Mick Cronin will return as head coach for the 2010-11 basketball season, his fifth at the university, according to a Cincinnati Enquirer report.

"Coach Cronin is our coach now and he’ll be our coach next year,” Thomas told Bill Koch of The Cincinnati Enquirer. “I’m committed to seeing Cincinnati basketball be the best it can be. The university is behind Coach Cronin and the team. I’m an impatient person, but I think the needle is headed in the right direction.”

Cronin received a two-year contract extension last June, and now has four years remaining on his current deal.

Heading into his team's final regular season game, Saturday, March 6, on the road against Georgetown, Cronin has a 58-65 record at UC in his four years as the school.
