Oklahoma State hires Steve Lutz as new head coach

Oklahoma State is hiring Western Kentucky head coach Steve Lutz to fill its vacancy after firing Mike Boynton, the school announced on Monday.

The 51-year-old has only been a Division-I head coach for three seasons but made the NCAA Tournament in each campaign. He coached Texas A&M Corpus Christi from 2021-23 before his one year with the Hilltoppers.

Before becoming a head coach, Lutz spent time as an assistant for Greg McDermott at Creighton and Matt Painter at Purdue.

Oklahoma State parted ways with Boynton last month after going 119-109 with one March Madness appearance in seven seasons.
