ALERT: Scott Cross Lands Georgia Tech Role Amid Financial UNCERTAINTY—Can He Do MORE With LESS?
Scott Cross aims to rebuild Georgia Tech's basketball after an 11-20 season, leveraging his NCAA tournament success and local recruiting expertise, athletic director said.
- On Monday, Georgia Tech officially introduced Scott Cross as the 16th men's basketball head coach in program history during a news conference at McCamish Pavilion.
- Cross faces the challenge of rebuilding a struggling Yellow Jackets program that has finished at or below.500 in five consecutive seasons, following his success as Sun Belt champion at Troy.
- Emphasizing player development, Cross plans to recruit "OKGs"—"our kinda guys"—defined as tough, high-character individuals, while leveraging his recruiting experience in Atlanta and Florida.
- Following an 11-20 season, the roster requires a major overhaul; athletic director Ryan Alpert pledged competitive funding as the transfer portal opens next month.
- Aiming to restore past heights, including Final Fours in 1990 and 2004, Cross intends to transform the Thriller Dome into an intimidating environment again.
