When discussing the reach of Eddie Sutton’s impact, former Oklahoma State guard Bryndon Manzer said it best: “There’s no question, he is the patriarch of a very large family,” Manzer said in an interview with the O’Colly in April.

The idea that Sutton’s basketball family was large was evident to many people on Saturday as the Twitter reaction to his death brought feelings of both sorrow and praise.
