Georgia Tech is eyeing Troy's Scott Cross to fill the school's men's basketball head coaching vacancy, ESPN reported Friday.
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.
With a 125-99 record in seven seasons at Troy, Cross led the Trojans to back-to-back Sun Belt championships and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament each of the past two seasons.
No. 13 Troy fell to No. 4 Nebraska, 76-47, on Thursday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament after finishing the regular season at 22-12 with a 12-6 record in league play.
The Yellow Jackets' head coaching position was left open by the firing of Damon Stoudamire, who went 42-55 in three seasons at the helm. He also failed to make the NCAA Tournament.
Georgia Tech finished in the basement of the Atlantic Coast Conference standings, managing just two wins in league play and ending the season on a 12-game losing streak for an 11-20 record.
Cross also made an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2008 after UT Arlington won its first-ever Southland Conference Tournament championship.
He went 225-161 at UT Arlington from 2006-18 and was fired despite three straight 20-win seasons, a move largely considered a blunder for the Mavericks team that has had just one 20-win season since.
