Brad Underwood told Oklahoma State fans lies, only because Mike Holder let him.
Underwood was hired as the Cowboys’ basketball coach in March 2016, and 362 days later he was gone. When he was introduced, he talked about packing Gallagher-Iba Arena, bringing back the tradition and how much of an honor it was to coach at OSU, even if he was the lowest-paid coach in the conference.
His new athletic director sat and marveled at how he hired the hottest commodity in the coaching world for the bottom dollar at a university that hadn’t been the same on the court in a decade, a university that Underwood had virtually no connection with while his alma mater was calling for his return.
