Allen Ward Great Quotations

Obviously, coach Willard has a great pedigree. He's done a very nice job. He's been involved with some different head coaching opportunities. He's someone I will definitely, definitely look at. But he's just one of several that I look forward to researching and visiting with.

We've been very fortunate here, we've hired some great coaches that have moved on and done great things. That's what I want to continue doing. I knew there was a chance when I took the job here a year ago that if we continued winning I may lose a great coach. That speaks very highly of our program.

We feel like he's a great choice to be our next head coach.

Especially when we really got hot at the end of season and took off in the conference tournament. He's won a lot of basketball games for us and done nothing but great things for our program.

It's a great fit for him. We wish him nothing but the best.

It's a great fit because Mick's a great coach. He gets that opportunity because of what he's done here. The last three years have very successful for our program. I have no doubt that Mick Cronin will be successful at the University of Cincinnati.
