Mick CroninIn college basketball, you must 'plant a flag' and never lose games at home to build a real program

PFT CommenterThe speed at which a city's NFL players chug beer is directly correlated to the success of their local NBA/NHL teams
I said at the start of the playoffs, I was like, the speed in which your football players chug beers is directly correlated to your basketball team's success in the playoffs. And we've seen it time and again in the NHL, in the NBA. And guess what? [Aaron] Rodgers absolutely cursed [the Bucks].
Big CatIf you can't chug a beer in the state of Wisconsin, you should be excommunicated
There's actually no state worse to be in and not be able to chug a beer than the state of Wisconsin. If you can't chug a beer in the state of Wisconsin, you've got to get out instantly.
PFT CommenterDrake is a Canadian version of a trash-talker who waits to respond via subtle social media changes

Drew [Jrue] Holiday... Drew might be known as maybe as the best defensive guard in the NBA. I'm glad you're on. No, I agree with that. Yeah, I absolutely agree with that. Yeah, I absolutely agree with that. Shut down Lillard in the playoffs last year.
Mick CroninMoving the college three-point line back will open the floor but might make the game uglier due to poor shooting
So we're going to the FIBA line... a foot and a half [back]. So the theory is that it'll open the floor up more. I'd agree with that. But again, are you going to stretch your defense if guys can't make the shot? So you have coaches that think it's going to be great. You have coaches that think, well, it's just going to be less guys can make it. So it's going to be uglier.
Mick CroninSuccessful coaches must ignore contractual perks and focus solely on what wins games
[Bob Huggins] taught me: Worry about things that matter. A lot of guys in our business, they worry about what car they're getting with their contract. Things that have nothing to do with winning. Just focus on what you need to do to win.
