Cross, 51, has 10 seasons with 20 wins or more in 19 seasons as a head coach at UT Arlington and Troy, amassing 350 career victories. He led the Trojans to back-to-back Sun Belt championships and NCAA Tournament appearances the past two seasons.

Georgia Tech fired Stoudamire after three seasons and an 11-20 record this past year.
