Mavericks Promote Assistant: Texas – Arlington has found a replacement for former coach Eddie McCarter in the Mavericks’ stable. Assistant coach Scott Cross will become the next Mavericks head coach after school officials decided his eight years an assistant made him worthy of a shot at the main job. Cross has deep roots to Texas – Arlington as a former player. He was an outstanding point guard and student-athlete in school, and if his floor leadership skills translate to the bench, the Mavericks have a solid leader at the helm. [4/21/06]
