There are way too many people right now that are convinced Sean Sutton can’t get the job done at Oklahoma State. Give the guy a chance.

     No, things have not gone right for the second year coach. There have been discipline problems. There have been players transferring. And most importantly there have been too many losses.

     However, this guy is just in his second season. No, he hasn’t performed any miracles and there have been times when his team doesn’t look very good–particularly this season.

     Unless, the guy is totally incompetent (please look up Howard Schnellenberger in the dictionary) you give him the chance. You let him get his players.

     I can’t believe this son of a future Hall of Fame coach doesn’t know basketball. He’s been around it all of his life. In Eddie’s last couple of years at Oklahoma State it was Sean who was coaching the offense. 

     It has appeared to me in Sean’s one-plus season  in Stillwater, that there doesn’t seem like there’s been a lot of team chemistry. There have been too many free-lancers. There has been no leadership from the players. That’s no good.

     Apparently Eddie (and Sean) took chances on players with questionable character. I think that has come back to bite the Cowboys. That’s why this is a team that doesn’t has great talent. There have been too many defections.

     Sean Sutton deserved to get a chance to become the Oklahoma State basketball coach. He was a player for the Cowboys and has been on campus since 1990. He has learned from a master, Eddie Sutton.

     These’s next few months are extremely important to Sean. And I don’t mean as much in wins and losses. I’m talking about recruiting. The inside talent has to be upgraded in a big way. If it isn’t, when March Madness rolls around in future years, the Pokes will be thinking NIT, not NCAA.
