Georgia Tech has named former Troy coach Scott Cross as the school’s next men’s basketball head coach, it was announced Friday.
The deal is for five years, a source told ESPN.
Cross led Troy to back-to-back NCAA men’s basketball tournaments and back-to-back Sun Belt regular-season championships. His track record of building programs appealed to the Georgia Tech brass — he has won 350 career Division I games over 19 seasons as a head coach at UT Arlington and Troy.
Cross will replace Damon Stoudamire, who was fired after failing to reach the NCAA tournament in all three of his seasons as head coach.
