Cross is making his bones with local talent. For him to maintain that stream of success he needs to stay somewhat local. UNT will be the only opening!

He wouldn't have to move!

Double the money and hire his entire staff! HOPE!

I just don't see him leaving UTA to come here.

This.

He ain't leaving his alma mater for a position that is light years worse than his current one, when he can make significantly higher $$$ at many other schools well above ours in the NCAA hierarchy.

Don't be a bit surprised to see him at an AAC school or Big XII school. Memphis might not be a bad place for him, same with Oklahoma State. Maybe even Arkansas or A&M, if things go bad for either of those teams in conference play in the SEC.

That ship sailed awhile ago.  

Yep. He would have loved the job in 2012, but now we are the laughing stock of local college basketball as well as football.

Thanks RV.

Cross should tell UNT to go pound sand, we could have gotten him back in 2012, but RV had to have his guy, just like Shanice, just like Peterson. At least we did not pay Marquette to take Benford off their hands unlike Peterson at WFU.

If Cross leaves his alma mater it won't be for us. I'm not convinced he would have taken it in 2012 but the talent on the roster may have been such he thought he could have some success and end up with a big job. As others have said our spot in the hierarchy has slipped a bit since then.

I hope Scott is able to find the compensation that he is looking for right there at UTA. He has already proven himself and shouldn't need to go somewhere to prove himself all over again.

I hope that North Texas will find a coach that, in part, can create a rivalry by making the games against UTA worth watching.

      If we win out reg season we are in?

      I mean if we win out till the conference final and lose to Memphis in a close game, we would definitely be looked at - but the lack of quality wins would hurt us a lot. I think it'd be 50/50.

Get your ticket online at meangreensports.com People need a reason to break their weekly habits and explore something new. Promoting the program's success in a timely and exciting way while simultaneously making people feel like they're needed and extending a clear invitation is a great way to start to make more people interested in showing up. If you never give people a reason, they'll never break their habits of ignoring the program. So, the AD has two options: Don't promote. Don't see an increase in community care. Continue to wonder why attendance and revenue are flat. Promote regularly year after year. Generate an increase in community care. Celebrate rising attendance and revenue. It's frustrating to see them continually choose #1.

      The other terrible call was against, I believe Floyd, when Mash Jr. shot a three from the corner and kicked his leg out creating contact. I seem to recall this being called against Tylor Perry in an NIT game a couple of years ago. Floyd was a foot in front of him when he released the ball. Another ridiculous call went against Wright in the first half when he placed his hand on the chest of Picarelli and Picarelli flopped his head back like Wright had hit him with an uppercut. They reviewed the call to see if it was flagrant, it wasn't, but you know the refs are looking at that thinking, "Man, that was a bad call."

      Lorient, as I understand it, was pretty much a bench player last season at FAU. He rarely got in a game. I think we are going to see him put on a demonstration of what could have been had the FAU coaches used him differently. Having said that, FAU had a very good year so it’s hard to question the coaching, unless you’re Brenen Lorient.
