Coaching Search Over: Cross Hired

[GT33]

This St Louis team is fun to watch!

Let's not hire that coach

 

[lv20gt]

Looks to me like they added two transfers in Green and Campbell with a lot of freshmen recruits. No idea on talent level. Full 15 man roster.

Green played 56 total minutes so I guess not literally nothing. Cobi Campbell redshirted last year. Year before that he was a juco recruit I believe.

Since we’re all wondering, I saved you the effort: Josh Schertz (coach at St. Louis) agreed to a long-term extension at STL this month, ostensibly to ward off interest from other programs like Syracuse and Providence.

Damn, they’re fun to watch. (And not only because they’re completely and utterly outclassing uGA.)

(Although that REALLY helps.)

Hoilberg was previously very successful at Iowa State. Not successful as an NBA Coach. He has made Nebraska a good team.

Success at one school doesn't guarantee success at another. He has made Nebraska a good team. However they didn't even have a 500 record until his 4th season there. After 3 seasons he had at a record of 24-67 at Nebraska.
Even with a 26-6 record this season Hoilberg still has a losing record at Nebraska

It has been beautiful basketball. Great handles and great passing from all five of them. They usually hit a bunch of threes but haven’t taken many since Georgia can’t defend a cutter and hasn’t gotten back in transition all night

Dwags have quit.

He got his team into the NCAA's. That encouraged me.

I'll be encouraged if we make it back to the ACC tournament next year.

Kennesaw might be the best basketball program in the state. How sad is that.

Hoilberg's record after his first 3 seasons at Nebraska was even worse than CDS's record here at Tech

Success at one school doesn't guarantee success at another. He has made Nebraska a good team. However they didn't even have a 500 record until his 4th season there. After 3 seasons he had at a record of 24-67 at Nebraska.
Even with a 26-6 record this season Hoilberg still has a losing record at Nebraska

Nebraska stuck with Hoiberg after he went 24-67 (.264) overall and 9-50 (.153) in the Big Ten in his first 3 years.

After sticking with him for 5 years, he got them back into the NCAA tournament.

After sticking with him for 7 years, he got them their first NCAA win in program history.

How fast do we expect results from our guys?

Well, the exact score that Troy lost by was reached in the UGA vs St Louis Game. Thought that a bit ironic.

After 3 years his buyout was something like 18 million. Yeah, for 18 million we would have given CDS 5 years also. The reason it was 18 million vs under 3 was because of what Hoiberg did at Iowa State vs what CDS did at Pacific.

I am told there is a players meeting at Troy scheduled for this morning. Cross is expected to be named our coach.

Was told last night announcement coming today.

 

[slugboy]

I don’t know how this is going to turn out. I have to hope that Associate AD Brent Jones is in the background knowing that Cross is the real deal, and is right about it.

 

[Sheboygan]

If Cross is hired, I think he will definitely be an improvement over CDS due to his experience and prior success. However, the NIL budget will determine how successful the program will be in the ACC. Can they challenge the upper echelon in the conference? I’m cautiously optimistic.

A prediction: Georgia Tech will hire Troy’s Scott Cross

Tech athletic director Ryan Alpert has had about a week and a half to vet candidates since Damon Stoudamire was dismissed March 8 at the end of his third season.

Happy Scott Cross Day to all who celebrate.

 

[Peacone36]

I hope we aren’t saying in two years that we should have given CDS another year.

Holy hell, you guys broke out into a comedy troupe after I crashed last night.

Sad indeed. That’s what 20+ years of apathy will do to a program.
