The men’s basketball team has a new assistant coach in Jacksonville College’s former head basketball coach Greg Young. Gregg Elkin, associate athletic director for Communications and Media Relations, said Maverick head coach Scott Cross was looking for someone to help with defense — one of Young’s specialties. Cross said he wanted someone who would bring something new and fit in with his staff. “An experienced guy, who has been through the fire, is only going to make my staff, team and myself better,” Cross said. “That’s what I want all around.” Young led the Jaguars to a 21-10, 2008-09 season.   “I am excited about being at UTA, around Coach Cross, and getting to know the staff and team,” Young said. Cross said he watched Young’s work for several years. “Jacksonville was not a school with great resources, and he got it done,” he said. Young said he will bring new philosophy and culture to the team’s success. “Every staff member brings something,” he said. “I bring experience. I am starting my 25th year of coaching, I have coached at every level.” Views: 3633 | E-mail   Be first to comment this article Only registered users can write comments. Please login or register.
