Steve Lutz has been appointed as the new basketball coach at Oklahoma State, following a successful season at Western Kentucky. With a career record of 69-35, Lutz has consistently guided his teams to the NCAA Tournament, achieving this feat in all three seasons as a head coach. Prior to his tenure at Western Kentucky, Lutz showcased his coaching prowess at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and also served as an assistant at Purdue and Creighton.
Lutz steps into the role previously held by Mike Boynton, who amassed a 119-109 record during his seven-year tenure. Boynton's time at Oklahoma State was marked by challenges stemming from an NCAA investigation, limiting the team's postseason success.
