OVC Coach of the Year (2006)Mick Cronin (born July 17, 1971[1]) is an American college basketball coach and the current head coach of the Cincinnati Bearcats men's basketball team. Previously an assistant at Cincinnati under Bob Huggins and at Louisville under Rick Pitino, Cronin's first head coaching job was at Murray State.[2] In three seasons at Murray, Cronin led the team to the tournament twice and was named the 2006 Ohio Valley Conference coach of the year. After the 2006 season, he was hired as Cincinnati's coach, replacing interim coach Andy Kennedy.[3] In April 2009, Cronin partnered with children's book publisher Mascot Books to release his first kid's book, Hello, Bearcat! In five seasons at Cincinnati, Cronin has amassed a 86-76 record.
