Despite his declining health, Eddie Sutton saw a good amount of Mike Boynton-era Cowboy basketball in the past three seasons.
Boynton was hired as Oklahoma State’s head coach seemingly out of nowhere. He was (is) young, and he wasn’t a true OSU guy when he was hired, having played at South Carolina and coached out east and at Stephen F. Austin.
But none of that stopped one of OSU’s most legendary coaches from showing his support for Boynton. In his first statement since Sutton’s death, Boynton thanked Sutton for what he did for the program and what Sutton did for Boynton.
