"Scott Cross has a proven track record, leading Troy to back-to-back NCAA tournaments and winning 350 career Division I games over 19 seasons as a head coach."
"Georgia Tech has reached just one NCAA tournament since 2010, with previous coaches failing to achieve success, making Cross's hiring a critical step for the program."
"Cross's dismissal from UT Arlington after three straight 20-win seasons is considered one of the biggest administrative blunders in recent college basketball history."
"Georgia Tech finished last in the ACC this year, going 2-16 in league play and ending the season on a 12-game losing streak."
Georgia Tech is set to hire Scott Cross, the current coach of Troy, as its new men's basketball head coach. Cross has led Troy to consecutive NCAA tournaments and Sun Belt championships, boasting a career record of 350 wins over 19 seasons. He replaces Damon Stoudamire, who was dismissed after failing to reach the NCAA tournament in three seasons. Georgia Tech has struggled, finishing last in the ACC this year. Cross's hiring is a significant move for first-year athletic director Ryan Alpert, who aims to revitalize the program.
