Leonard Hamilton was just 33, two years younger than Boynton, when the rookie head coach took over an Oklahoma State program in even worse shape — at least from an on-court standpoint — than how Boynton found it earlier this year. As of 1986, the Cowboys had wallowed in mediocrity for two decades with just one NCAA Tournament berth in the previous 22 seasons. Hamilton’s hire was the fifth coaching change since Henry Iba stepped down in 1970.

The ace recruiter known for his defensive acumen came over from Kentucky where he served one season under newly-named head coach Eddie Sutton. Hamilton was a holdover from Joe B. Hall’s Kentucky staff and the first in the storied program’s history to earn the title of “associate head coach”. But when Hall stepped down, Hamilton was not granted an interview to replace him. Kentucky went with Sutton, an established head coach at Arkansas.

Hamilton’s 1986-87 team struggled to an 8-20 finish but the 1987-88 team improved to 14-16. He flexed his recruiting muscles in Stillwater bringing in the likes of Byron Houston, Richard Dumas and even transfer Tulsa native John Starks.

In years 3 and 4 of Hamilton’s tenure, OSU went 17-13 and 17-14, making NIT appearances in each. Oklahoma State hadn’t seen back-to-back postseason action in 32 years, resulting in the board of regents offering Hamilton a three-year extension.

Hamilton complied a 56-63 start to his coaching career in Stillwater before the ace recruiter was enticed away to the orange and green-er pastures of Miami where he spent 10 seasons.

          He wanted out. He negotiated it down to 4.8 million (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/27 12:23:48
               But they made the decision before the negotation.(nm) - SuperTone MU - 1/27 12:26:26
          Fully committed programs come up with buyout money - Eggs MU - 1/27 12:21:23
               The amount of revenue we have lost over the last 8 yrs - FIJItiger MU - 1/27 12:27:21
                    2017-18 was the only exception - Eggs MU - 1/27 12:37:46
                         i'm going to say those 2 coaches have cost us $28M - phrejd MU - 1/27 12:43:24
                              It’s probably a false assumption that Mizzou makes - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/27 12:58:19
                                   show me your work - phrejd MU - 1/27 13:01:23
                                        I just think it’s a false assumption - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/27 13:16:23
                                             you don't know what revenue is, do you? (nm) - phrejd MU - 1/27 14:46:23
                                                  Ok your assumptions are wrong in those - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/27 15:01:53
                                                       what were my assumptions? (nm) - phrejd MU - 1/27 15:03:07

                                                            That’s counting tickets sold - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/27 14:58:31
                                                                 tickets sold means someone paid for that ticket - phrejd MU - 1/27 15:02:51
                                                                      They aren’t there to spend $10 on concessions - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/27 15:19:50
                                                                           maybe you should look up the actual revenue from concessions - phrejd MU - 1/27 15:48:50
                                                                                Even if you have and that’s correct - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/27 15:52:20
                                                                                     ok so you're not going to look up concession sales? - phrejd MU - 1/27 16:08:12

                                                                                                         again - phrejd MU - 1/27 16:21:43
