No doubt Hubert Davis knows basketball. I would worry a little about his short coaching resume. I’m sure he’s learned a lot where he is but being a head coach is different than being a real good assistant. I wouldn’t hate it if he came. We have to have a coach, a recruiter and an administrator. He could probably do the first two well. Pedigree from Carolina. HC of Carolina's JV team which is all walk ons. And before anyone poo poos that...Roy Williams coached the UNC JV team for seven years. Worked out pretty well for him. But yeah, Huntsville is right up there with Carolina.

I know we’ve thrown out a few names that we would or would not like to see hired but has anyone heard anything other than there is a short list? I heard Pelphrey was a possibility from a Bama guy, not anyone connected to Troy. I want to know if there is any news from a Troy connection.

Scott Cross was fired after a 27-9 and 21-13 seasons. The UTA AD caught a ton of heat for that decision. And Cross has been mentioned in several openings last 2 years

And Cross has been mentioned in several openings last 2 years If your fired after going 27-9 and 21-13, your program would have to be involved in illegal money, hookers or drugs. Just was informed he went 24-11 the year before. So this guy went 24-11, 27-9 and 21-13 and he gets fired ? Got to ask, WTH ?

The only reason he was fired was because UTA admin had expectations of going to the NCAA Tournament in his last two to three years there, but Cross' teams came up just short each year. There was no shady stuff going on at all. Cross was blindsided when they fired him. He thought he was doing great things at UTA (which he was... he had them as one of the best mid-major programs in the country). In his last three seasons with UTA, he defeated Texas, Oklahoma, #12 St. Mary's, Ohio State, BYU, and Memphis... made it to the NIT and CIT quarterfinals, won a SBC title, and had an NBA draft pick. That's more than Maestri or Cunningham have done combined in the past 20 years.

We would have killed to have our last three seasons look like that.

We would have killed to have our last three seasons look like that. He definitely does. I guess he's wanting UTA to be the next Gonzaga, but on a ULM budget. A lot of UTA folks were pissed about Cross being fired.
