'We have to do better': Mike Boynton speaks on state of the country

While there weren’t tears in his eyes, it felt like there were tears in his voice.

The tone in Mike Boynton’s voice was different. His facial expressions alluded to anger, pain and sadness with a coat of humility running across his face.

The Oklahoma State men’s basketball coach was clearly torn up by the events surrounding the death of George Floyd, which have sparked protest and rage across the country. Boynton shared his thoughts with reporters on a Zoom call Thursday.

“We don’t have to hate each other because we don’t do everything the same way,” Boynton said.
