Oklahoma State will introduce its 20th men’s head basketball coach on Monday. A name most OSU fans probably didn’t know before Friday (though he’s been on the Cowboys sideline for a year) will now be the face of the program.
He starts his childhood dream job in an unenviable position. While there was no clear-cut answer or direction the fan base could agree on, few expected (and even fewer supported) the decision to promote from within.
Fans were let down by the hire. But that has less to do with Boynton than it does with the bigger names that either were or weren’t interviewed for the job.
