Oklahoma State is hiring Western Kentucky's Steve Lutz as the Cowboys head coach, sources tell Fox Sports. Lutz's rise is remarkable. The former Matt Painter and Greg McDermott assistant has gone to the NCAA Tournament in each of his first 3 years as a head coach.

I had never heard of Steve Lutz before about ten minutes ago, but he seems qualified for the job. I'm interested to see if he can turn the Pokes around.

I enjoyed this year with Steve Lutz and am grateful he got WKU back to the tournament. I said last year if he's only here a year but gets WKU back to the tournament, it will have been worth it. I still believe that. But glad this awkward waiting period for this offer is over.

Did not take Steve Lutz very long to break into a power conference program. No surprise, hope he kills it in Stillwater! https://t.co/y269BFrz5h
