Pretty stunning stuff. 72-33 over the last three years, and winning-est coach in program history.

Pretty interesting statement from a good character guy https://twitter.com/CoachScottCross/status/97845673053440... never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Nothing else matters. After winning 27 games last year you'd think this coach would get a few more years, no?

Seeing that does beg the question: Why on earth did they build a two deck, 7,000 seat arena in the era of shrinking arenas and sports attendance? It seems huge relative to their demand. If I were at a mid-major, even at Ohio, I wouldn't build anything bigger than about 5,000 to 6,000 seats.

Top 100 - Ohio is the only MAC school. Sun Belt (UTA's conference) averages around 2,200 a game. Yes these are reported numbers vs. (I'm sure) butts in seats. But all schools have the same condition. So pretty much apples to apples. https://i.turner.ncaa.com/sites/default/files/images/2016...

Based on butts in seats + 72-33 over three seasons, it would seem it's more than adequate to me.

You’re not on their board of trustees so they must see it differently, so time will tell I guess Last Edited: 3/28/2018 2:18:05 PM by colobobcat66 Back to Top OU_Country General User Member Since: 12/6/2005 Location: On the road between Athens and Madison County Post Count: 8,320 Status: Offline     RE: TOS to UT Arlington    Posted: 3/28/2018 2:27:10 PM  colobobcat66 wrote: OU_Country wrote: colobobcat66 wrote: OU_Country wrote: That is a really good read - and until (unlikely) the selection process changes, it's reality for the majority of D1 schools.

They also may be looking at 7,000+ seats from more than just a basketball perspective (concerts, etc.) Back to Top OU_Country General User Member Since: 12/6/2005 Location: On the road between Athens and Madison County Post Count: 8,320 Status: Offline     RE: TOS to UT Arlington    Posted: 4/5/2018 11:14:21 AM  If you subscribe to The Athletic, Seth Davis has an opinion on this: https://theathletic.com/299689/2018/04/04/uta-is-looking-... / https://twitter.com/SethDavisHoops/status/981541058524753921 Back to Top longtiimelurker General User Member Since: 2/2/2017 Post Count: 587 Status: Offline     RE: TOS to UT Arlington    Posted: 4/8/2018 5:48:04 PM  OU_Country wrote: If you subscribe to The Athletic, Seth Davis has an opinion on this: https://theathletic.com/299689/2018/04/04/uta-is-looking-... / https://twitter.com/SethDavisHoops/status/981541058524753921 Thank you for these links. The tweet is telling. "UTA coach Scott Cross was fired because his AD thinks the team should "get to the NCAAs every year." Team's budget is in lower half of its own conference. Maybe get a new AD first? @WBBBPB writes for The Fieldhouse. @TheAthleticCBB " Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 20  of 20 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Basketball' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 209 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 208 Guests 1 Registered User:   JSF There are no other users looking at this page.
