ESPN analyst and former Oklahoma State basketball player Doug Gottlieb cites an anonymous source in reporting that, “(Oklahoma State basketball coach Sean Sutton, who kept the family name in place at Oklahoma State after succeeding his father as coach, will not return for a third season.”
Gottlieb also notes Sutton will get paid for the final three years remaining on his 5-year contract with the school.

Eddie Sutton is coming out of retirement and heading back to the hardwood:
CBS SPORTSLINE reports that the 71-year-old ex-Oklahoma State coach will taking over at the University of San Francisco on an interim basis. Sutton steps in for Jessie Evans, who apparently asked for a leave of absence for the rest of the season.
The convenient switch means that Sutton now has a shot at reaching 800 wins in his coaching career. Eddie - who also made coaching stops at Creighton, Arkansas and Kentucky - ended his tenure at Stillwater with 798 career victories. He could have reached the big 8-0-0 with the Cowboys, had he not retired after a DUI charge in February 2006.
Sutton’s first stab comes this Friday against Weber State in Ogden, UT. Hopefully, he’ll get a ride so he doesn’t have to drive himself.
