'He changed a lot of lives': Eddie Sutton built a family bond at OSU

STILLWATER — Randy Rutherford paid a visit to Eddie Sutton during the day on Saturday, hours before the legendary basketball coach passed away at the age of 84. It was a day full of reminiscing for Rutherford, who played for Sutton at Oklahoma State from 1992-95. The telling of Sutton stories carried into Sunday as everyone who is part of the Cowboy basketball family celebrated the life of a man who had mentored so many. As Rutherford told more stories Sunday afternoon, he noted that none of them had been about basketball. “Basketball was about 10 percent of what he was teaching us,” Rutherford said. “He was teaching us about life and how to treat people and how to carry yourself, be accountable and responsible

Eddie Sutton: Legendary Oklahoma State coach waited out hall of fame, won that battle, too

You might think it an injustice that Eddie Sutton won't be able to go to his induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Truth is, the injustice was done long ago. The hall of fame should've voted in the legendary coach soon after he retired in 2008. The man who won over 800 games and took three teams to the Final Four, including two from Oklahoma State, deserved to go in when memories of his storied career were still fresh. But, of course, that didn't happen. Finally, a dozen years after he coached his last game, Sutton learned in April he would be inducted into the hall later this year. Less than two months later, he is gone. Sutton died Saturday evening at his home in Tulsa. His family says

Eddie Sutton's legacy at Oklahoma State: Excellence was possible for Cowboys

In the final OSU basketball season before the Eddie Sutton era, the Cowboys’ home opener was against Memphis. A crowd of 6,381 showed up. If that number sounds familiar, it should. That was the capacity of Gallagher-Iba Arena before its 2000 makeover. Leonard Hamilton’s final OSU team played to a bunch of packed houses, even when the talented roster struggled, finishing with a 17-14 record. Soon enough, of course, Sutton was the coach, the Cowboys were winning big and Gallagher-Iba was the “rowdiest arena in the nation,” in the words of public-address announcer Larry Reece. Sutton died Saturday at the age of 84; no Cowboy ever stood taller with the OSU throngs.
