I'd take Cross but those aren't the only coaches we have contacted

Cut the Scott Cross talk... that's totally ridiculous (and uncalled for).

Cross is a good coach.

Cross would be a perfect fit.......local recruiting ties, over-achiever, good bench coach, great staff and
would not "break the bank"on salaries. He has done an incredible job when you consider the woeful conditions he has been operating under at UTA.

Not anymore at UTA. That school just opened that new arena in February. No more Texas Hall.

No. That caught me off guard when I saw it. I really can't see that. But it's nice to dream.

Budget, salaries, and scheduling requirements are still very daunting.

That's true at any school in UTA's position. That's why those coaches start somewhere and move on. We probably wouldn't go that route anyway, but I do like what he's building over there.

He can sell a solid facility, which was always used against him and that program in the past.

Hewitt is interesting. Can someone shed a little light on why his GT teams went south after their final four appearance.
