It's real simple folks: I love Bob Huggins. Always will. He should be thanked over and over for what he did here.

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mick Cronin is here, Bob Huggins is not. Let's get back to UC Hoops!

Go BEARCATS!

John-

There is a distinction between the recent discussions about Huggins and those the forum monitors have asked to take elsewhere. The recent discussions started out as an analysis of Huggins' performance in the NCAA tournament. I agree that it progressed over time to comparisons between Huggins and Cronin and speculation about which coach will have his team in the NCAA sooner and offers to make wagers about the same, etc. I would not consider the recent posts to "bash" or "attack" Huggins. They are merely discussing and analyzing his teams' performance in the tournament. I trust that since our forum monitors have not stepped in on this one, they see this topic as an appropriate one for this forum.

Facts are facts. During Huggins' tenure, UC rarely reached the second weekend of the tournament. And it has been a long time since it did so, Logan's junior year being the last. And that year is sandwiched between many years of not advancing.

Keith and Mike,
Why is it that Bob Huggins is being attacked on this forum without your
censorship. I have stayed off the forum due your policy of not wanting
ZZZZ maligned in any way in print and not wanting Huggins firing debated
on the forum. It seems that it is just fine to attack Huggs in just about
every way on the forum now. If you are going to censor those who liked
Huggins, then you should sure censor those who are attacking him now.

I don't have a problem with Cronin being coach. I wish him the best but
I'm getting a little tired of reading posts by those who are attacking Huggins
on a variety of fronts. I think he was great for UC and brought us back from
nowhere. STOP THE DOUBLE STANDARD!!!

Enforce your policy.....Only talk about Cronin and this years team and the future
of the program. We shouldn't be allowed to have any controversy on this forum.
Keep their eyes on Cronin and 2006 and beyond. You have the power to delete
posts that you feel are out of line, don't you feel it is out of line to attack Huggs
now that he is gone?? I doubt that this post will make it to the forum but at least
one of you two will know how I feel.
