Scott Cross made his first appearance as a TCU assistant basketball coach and he was already decked out in the requisite purple, including a spiffy new TCU band for his iWatch.
"I was happy to get the purple on," said Cross, who spent the past 22 years at UT Arlington as a player, an assistant coach and head coach since 2006.
TCU head coach Jamie Dixon, who is entering his third season back at his alma mater, had an opening on his staff with assistant David Patrick taking the head job at UC Riverside.
