Oklahoma State Dismisses Men's Basketball Coach Mike Boynton After Seven Seasons

The decision follows a disappointing season with a 12-20 record and a six-game losing streak, marking the end of Boynton's tenure.

Oklahoma State University announced the firing of men's basketball coach Mike Boynton after seven seasons, citing the need for a new direction.
Boynton's tenure included a 119-109 overall record, with only one NCAA tournament appearance led by star Cade Cunningham.
The Cowboys faced a one-year postseason ban in 2021-22 due to NCAA sanctions from a bribery scandal, not directly involving Boynton.
Despite a promising team and strong recruiting classes, Oklahoma State struggled in conference play and ended this season with a 12-20 record.
The university has decided to pay Boynton a roughly $7.5 million buyout, opting for a change despite the financial cost.
