(SOURCE METRO) TULSA, OK – The first coach to take four different schools to the NCAA tournament has died. Eddie Sutton was 84.
He was informed less than two months ago he’d be a member of the 2020 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Class. He, along with NBA great Kobe Bryant, will be posthumously inducted in August in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Sutton coached for 50 years and won more than 800 games, but is best known for his time at his alma mater, Oklahoma State, and at Kentucky. He also coached at Creighton, Arkansas, and San Francisco.
