Um, what? Why?

Only conclusion is this is something unrelated to basketball, or rules trouble. In twelve years he built UTA into a really good mid major program. The school’s only NCAA appearance (2008), two NIT appearances (2012 & 2017) and he was 72-30 in the past three seasons including an appearance in this year’s Sun Belt championship game. Plus, last off-season I heard New Mexico was really interested in him.

If this is for basketball reasons UTA sure has delusions of grandeur

They have had more success than Maverick football in recent years.

And an amazing basketball facility.

Reading the article published by the DMN it appears that it was simply the idiot AD wanting to bring in his own guy.

Wow. That's bad.

There's ambitious and then there's stupid...

But congratulations to the team that signs Scott Cross as their new head coach.

I hope that Jim Baker is saving his money; his next job is gonna be a pay cut.

This just seems crazy and destined to backfire.

Scott on staff (under Jank) for a year or two would be nice

I like what you're thinking 94. Not a bad idea plus some nice pub for providing safe harbor for a wrongly-fired coach.

Player or two we could use? Whats the transfer rule if a coach is fired?

also maybe a recruiter? They have done a nice job there with much less to sell.
