You never want to take a headache lightly, especially if you’ve noticed them becoming more and more frequent. Thankfully Cincinnati Bearcats coach Mick Cronin heeded such advice and went to the doctor because of the lingering head woes and the trip may have saved his life.
Upon an examination, doctors discovered the Cincinnati Bearscats coach has an ‘unruptured aneurysm’ and will miss at minimum Saturday’s game against VCU.
Mick Cronin is expected to go under further testing and doctors have informed him he is not to coach until they get results of those tests back.
The Bearscats coach, understandably shaken from the incident, was thankful towards the medical professionals who found the unruptured aneurysm.
“I appreciate the UC Health medical community for all they have done to get to the bottom of my issue as quickly as possible,” Cronin said. “Obviously, I am being held out of coaching the team for precautionary reasons which I fully understand. I have total confidence in my coaching staff and players that they will be focused and ready to play today.”
Now 43, Cronin is in the midst of his ninth season coaching the Cincinnati Bearcats whom he has lead to a very solid 7-2 record this season.
Assistant coach Larry Davis will take over the head coaching duties against VCU and will likely continue such for Cronin’s absence.
“The most important factor here is Mick’s health, which is bigger than any game,” Cincinnati athletic director Mike Bohn said. “We will support him and his family to the fullest extent and want Mick to be our coach for a long time. We have faith in Larry Davis and our outstanding coaches and support staff to lead the program today. We are blessed to have an outstanding medical team here at UC and thank them for their efforts.”
