#4  Don, I think Mick Cronin can win more games than Tony Yates with his eyes 
 closed. Yates was a solid player and a great recruiter (with help from his  
assistants Lincoln, Grant, Hamilton, etc). But he was a mediocre coach. Mick  
is a very fine young coach. No comparison to Yates at all. BTW I'm 55  now.

I'll give you Mick is a fine young coach although I'm only lukewarm about  
that. The question is will he become a great coach like Huggins is. I know you  
are 55 and I've always wondered just how much a 7 year old in 1958 could know  
about college basketball. I was 16 playing high school basketball and I'm  
sure I knew more about college basketball then than you did. You haven't quite  
caught up with me as yet either. Don
