Steve Lutz's coaching journey gives OSU chance for turnaround

As soon as Steve Lutz took the stage at Gallagher-Iba Arena in April, he let everyone in attendance and watching from home know one thing.

“My family is the most important thing to me — other than being the head coach of Oklahoma State basketball,” Lutz said at his introductory press conference. “I don’t have a whole lot of hobbies; I’m not a golfer… basketball pretty much consumes our life.”

In the 18 years since Eddie Sutton coached his final game at OSU, fans have wanted someone to become known as the face of the once-proud program.
