How Oklahoma State Turned into Jacie Hoyt’s Dream Job

STILLWATER — As a young coach, Jacie Hoyt said she was often asked what her dream job was.

Hoyt, 34, was named Oklahoma State’s eighth women’s basketball head coach on Sunday after spending five seasons revitalizing the program at Kansas City. At her introductory news conference Monday, Hoyt said she tried to not get caught up in thinking about a “dream job.” She said her faith would write her story for her. That’s when Oklahoma State and athletic director Chad Weiberg reached out.

“All of a sudden, I start realizing, ‘OK, maybe I do have a dream job,'” Hoyt said.
