As is custom these days, when a major midwestern school found itself with a vacancy at the helm of their basketball program, as was the case at Ohio State earlier this week, the rumor mill spun into action, linking Coach Mack to yet another job percieved as better than Xavier for no apparent reason. After hilariously trotting out names like Jay Wright, Sean Miller, and Brad Stevens, all of whom would have to take significant steps in the wrong direction to find themselves plying their trade in Columbus, social media settled in on Mack, Cronin, and Chris Holtmann as the next set of names to trot out, presumably forgetting to link Tom Izzo or Bill Self to the job.
