    Oral Roberts has parted ways with Scott Sutton. According to @GottliebShow, Sutton found out via Twitter. Wow.

    A bit surprising but that program hasn't been "great" for awhile and considering the recruiting areas in TX and OK they should be way better then they've been. Will be interesting to see who they hire.

    Twitter...what a crappy way to find out you are out of a job!
    I was surprised he wasn't gone already having gone 14-17 last year. 8-22 this year meant he was gone a couple months ago. ORU hasn't gone to the NCAA tournament in almost 10 years after a strong run three or four years in a row. They moved back to the Summit from the Southland thinking it would be an open door into the tournament...that didn't work out so well. Recruiting upstart athletes that will play ball (and ORU BB has had their share of thugs) into a place like ORU is not the simplest of things to accomplish given all of the "rules" that go with a bible belt evangelic university.

    That's what you get for being loyal. He turned down a lot of jobs, including being a front runner for the WIchita State job pre-Marshall. If your a coach and someone offers to double your pay, you take it and don't look back. It's all about the W's.

    With alumni such as Michele Bachmann, Joel Osteen and Ted Haggard, who really wants to know. At least they also had Kathie Lee Gifford graduate from there, so it can't be all bad.
    Hail the BISON!!!

    With his lack of success I am not surprised he was fired but the way he was fired was not cool at all.

    His lack of success lately had more to do with new recruiting restrictions then his ability to coach and recruit. Sutton is a classy guy who should have left that dump years ago.
