Eddie Sutton has over 800 wins in his career as a college coach. His list of accolades is a mile long. His signature is scribbled across the white maple hardwood inside Gallagher- Iba Arena. The only accomplishment left for Sutton to cross off his list is entrance into the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame. Once again, Sutton was denied that honor by the selection committee.
Sutton won 368 games at Oklahoma State and took the Cowboys to the Final Four twice. Many in the college basketball community were stunned upon the announcement that Sutton would not be inducted this year.
