Former Oklahoma State and Kentucky coach Eddie Sutton passed away age 84

Post by Rusty Shackleford »

He’d been in bad health for awhile. Made it in the Naismith Basketball Hall of fame a few months ago


I know what's wrong with it. It's a Ford. You know what they say Ford stands for, don't ya? It stands for 'Fix it again, Tony'.

Does anyone know whether Eddie Sutton's son is still coaching at the collegiate level ? Am I wrong in thinking that possibly he maybe was an assistant coach under his Dad, and might have replaced his Dad when he retired from coaching ? I may be completely wrong in thinking that.

Looked again he’s Advisor to the head coach. What his duties are I have no clue. My guess is he helps with scouting and stuff like that

Thank you. I was not doubting what you were saying at all. Maybe I'm just a little surprised that he is not still coaching.

No problem. I wasn’t exactly sure what the job was. Still not sure but that is my best guess of what an advisor does

He was known more for his time at Arkansas than anywhere else.

I just have to admit that I had lost track of Sean. Was he head coach at Arkansas ?

Don't think so.
