I believe it has been a case of two people seeing the same truth differently. Mara did develop under Cronin but also should have gotten more minutes. He was on track to start this year and everyone knew it. All signs pointed to he was planning on coming back - Cronin would have hit the portal differently and we wouldn't have heard the rumors of his return otherwise. Then the conclusion is someone / some people got into his head during that time and convinced him that he was misused or whatever. But hey, if he could be convinced to change his mind then that means the foundation of trust with Cronin wasn't there to begin with. Then, it wasn't an amicable breakup. In the interview Mara kept saying "the assistant coaches" helped him and stayed out of commenting about Cronin. It is what it is.
