Sheesh. Seems quite harsh to me.

That does seem harsh. But he does have former players excelling at Tech and Baylor. Maybe that bothered their AD.

Not sure that is enough. After all, wasn't it the current Tech's coaches daughter and Vivian Gray that transferrred?

Hi 74Bear,
Appreciate the information. Thanks for posting!
Wishing you a good Wednesday.

UPDATE
OKLAHOMA STATE HEAD COACH LEAVING

Excerpts
In the final days of the women's basketball regular season last week, Oklahoma State athletic director Chad Weiberg and coach Jim Littell opened discussions over the future of the Cowgirls' program. The outcome of those talks came in the form of an announcement from the school Monday afternoon that Littell and OSU have "mutually agreed" to part ways at the close of the 2021-22 season, marking the end of his 11-year tenure in charge of the program.

.. 2nd-winningest coach in program history
.. Starting in 2005 Worked 6 seasons as the OSU associate HC under Kurt Budke
.. Nov 2011 Littell was elevated into the top job when Budke, AC Miranda Serna & 2 others were killed in a plane crash
.. Led OSU to a 22-12 record in Year 1
.. Won Women's NIT title in Year 1

"I think what is most appreciated about him is how he shepherded the Cowgirl basketball program and really the whole OSU family through the tragedy of the plane crash," Weiberg said.

The Cowgirls reached the NCAA Tournament in each of the next four seasons and totaled six March Madness appearances over Littell's 11 seasons, including the program's third-ever run to the Sweet 16 in 2014. Twice in 2016 and 2021 he was voted as the Big 12's coach of the year.

But Littell's departure comes with OSU having notched just one winning season over the last four years. The 2021-22 campaign including an eight-game conference losing streak from Jan. 12 to Feb. 12 and more losses 19 than in any other season of his 11-year tenure.

OSU's first-year athletic director declined to outline a candidate profile.

Thanks Slimecap. Here's a little more:

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Brandon Schneider signed a new four-year contract with Kansas on Wednesday that will pay the Big 12 coach of the year $400,000 annually along with numerous benefits and incentives through the 2025-26 season.

Schneider led the Jayhawks (20-8) to a fifth-place finish in the Big 12 this season after they were voted last in the league's preseason poll. They won seven straight games earlier this season, the program's longest streak since 1997, and the 20 wins in the regular season were their most since the 1999-2000 season.

Will face Baylor in Quarterfinal play tomorrow

What did the Big 12 do wrong to have Holly Warwick as an announcer? Hope she isn't there tomorrow.

Deeeeee - fense

Hi Slimecap,

Do you know when the last time was that we held an opponent scoreless in a first quarter? I'm guessing this may not have been the first time.

Actually, my memory says it was.

The TV announcers said it was a first for the Big 12 Tourney.
