but if memory serves they were both decent on defense. Perhaps that gave them a longer leash. Who knows? But with Mara I thought he was way too cautious. Mara should have been allowed to learn from his mistakes in real time on the floor. The growing pains for Cronin would definitely have been there, but IMO the team would have ended up for the better. Depending on how effective Kusturica is right off the bat, he may be looking at a similar scenario.
