Ross Hodge is an American college basketball coach, currently the head men's coach for the North Texas Mean Green men's basketball team.[1]

Playing career

Hodge played two years of college basketball at Paris Junior College before transferring to Texas A&M–Commerce.[2]

Coaching career

Following graduation, Hodge became an assistant coach at his alma mater, where he stayed for two seasons before accepting the head coaching position at his other former school, Paris Junior College. While at Paris, he led the Dragons to an 83–17 overall record and two Texas Eastern Athletic Conference regular-season championships as well as an eighth-place finish in the NJCAA National Tournament in 2008.[3][1] Following his stint at Paris, Hodge moved to Midland College where he had a 63–7 overall record, guiding the team to national runner up in the NJCAA tournament in 2011.[4]

In 2011, Hodge joined the staff at Southern Miss under Larry Eustachy for a single season.[5] He'd follow Eustachy to Colorado State where he stayed from 2012 to 2016 before joining Grant McCasland's staff at Arkansas State, and subsequently following McCasland to North Texas in 2017.[6][7]

On April 2, 2023 he was promoted to be the next Head Coach at North Texas after McCasland accepted the head coaching position at Texas Tech.[8][9][10][11][12]
