Mike Holder has been in the spotlight for the last nine days in a way he probably wishes he did not have to be in the spotlight. Writers on this blog have both praised him and critiqued him, and in the Sunday Oklahoman Holder spoke about his decision to hire Mike Boynton as the 20th men’s basketball coach in Oklahoma State history.
“I think it takes some intestinal fortitude to hire someone that’s not going to be necessarily the most popular thing in the press conference,” Holder told The Oklahoman.
