"I could give a rat's ass about the other team's student section, Cronin said. I would like to give you kudos for the worst question I've ever been asked. In response, the reporter said, I'll take it. Cronin fired back, You should take it. As another reporter began to ask a question, Cronin again shot his gaze back to the first reporter to continue jawing at him."
"You really think I care about the other team's student section? the coach asked. No, I don't think you care about the other team's the reporter said. Cronin apparently took exception with the tone of the reporter's response and asked if he was raising his voice at him. The report denied it, but Cronin disagreed. Yeah, you are, the coach said. Yeah, you are. Come on, dude! Yes, you were! Everybody's standing here listening to you! Everybody! This is on camera. They can hear you. I answered the question."
UCLA coach Mick Cronin erupted at a reporter who asked about Michigan State's student section chanting for Xavier Booker, a former Spartan who now plays for UCLA. Cronin used profane language to dismiss the question and called it the worst he had been asked, then repeatedly challenged the reporter's tone and volume. Cronin emphasized that he coaches UCLA and does not care about the opposing team's students. The Bruins' blowout loss to Michigan State and an earlier in-game ejection likely contributed to the coach's postgame frustration.
