Eddie Sutton was posthumously enshrined on Saturday into the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame as part of a legendary 2020 class that included Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett.
Sutton, the author of 806 wins and three Final Four appearances — two of which came at his alma mater, Oklahoma State — is the fifth OSU representative in the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame. He joins Bob Kurland (1961), Mr. Henry Iba (1969), Don Haskins (1997) and Bill Self (2017).
“The man had a presence,” KU coach and OSU alum Bill Self said of Eddie. “Seemed like everywhere we went, we walked into a room and all eyes were on him.
