Dana Ford has one scholarship remaining but it's unlikely to be used on the latest addition to the Missouri State family.

That's because the newest addition is a baby.

Ford tweeted late Wednesday night he and his wife Christina welcomed the birth of a baby boy.

Though Ford didn't provide any other details, the new men's basketball coach did tweet that he could not handle another girl.

"It's a boy!!" Ford tweeted. "#icouldnothandleanothergirl."

The baby's name, height, weight or ability to shoot a basketball was not detailed in the tweet.

Ford told the News-Leader in June that he and his wife were both hoping for a boy.
