OSU, OU in better place with young women in charge

Both OU and OSU have changed coaches recently from long-tenured coaches to young, lively women.

Jacie Hoyt grabs the mic from the scorers table and paces out to the middle of the court.

Hoyt exudes passion and energy addressing the buzzing crowd that just saw the Cowgirls topple TCU, thanking them for simply coming.

Hoyt is not Jim Littell, nor any other Cowgirls basketball coach for that matter. She’s young and vibrant, the new face of the program, a face that’s infusing life into a once-lagging fan base. Oh, and her girls, too.
