Longtime assistant coach Chris Ogden has been named UT-Arlington's head men's basketball coach, according to a school press release on Friday.
Ogden, who has been an assistant coach at Texas Tech the past two seasons, replaces Scott Cross, who was fired on March 26 along with his staff by Baker. Cross had been the Mavs' head coach for 12 seasons.
“I am extremely honored to serve as the head men’s basketball coach at UT Arlington,” Ogden said in the release. “Having lived in Texas nearly my entire life, I have dreamed of having the opportunity to lead a program in my home state.
