STILLWATER — Asked to make a sales pitch for Eddie Sutton to be voted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, Randy Rutherford didn't have to think long.
“Eight-oh-six,” the former Oklahoma State sharpshooter said. “I don’t have to give a sales pitch.”
Hard to argue with that.
Sutton won 806 games during his college coaching career and is one of only 10 coaches to win at least 600 games at the Division-I level. That elite group includes Mike Krzyzewski and Jim Boeheim, Jim Calhoun and Bob Knight, Roy Williams and Dean Smith. All legends of the game.
