Former OSU Basketball Coach Eddie Sutton Elected To Hall Of Fame, Sources Say

Sources have confirmed to News On 6 Sports that former Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton is finally getting into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

Sutton will be a part of the class of 2020 when the official announcement comes tomorrow at 11 a.m. central time, sources said.

It’s the seventh time Sutton had been a finalist, and he’s one of only four coaches in major college basketball with at least 800 wins.

He led OSU to two final-four appearances in 1995 and 2004, and was the head coach at Arkansas when the Razorbacks made it that far in 1978.
