Dick Vitale Posted April 19, 2012 Report Posted April 19, 2012 Former Lamar State College Head coach takes the Talledega College job. This is an NAIA school in Alabama..Guess he got over his "health issue" fairly quickly!! ;)
badndn Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 Wasn't he an assistant there before coming to LSCPA? Is HC at an NAIA actually better than at a JUCO for resume building?
Dick Vitale Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Posted April 23, 2012 He was he head coach there before they moved UP to NAIA...It really depends on the school and level...NJCAA Division I is a bit more regarded than NAIA...It really depends on where you land...This was definitely a step back for Cross...The public is not being told the WHOLE story as to why he left so abruptly saying it was for "health reasons".

BLUEDOVE3 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Posted April 23, 2012 Well, I'm sure his *blood pressure* went up after all these incidents ;)

Sorry to learn of all the behind the games issues.
