STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) – Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder still has high hopes for Travis Ford as Oklahoma State’s basketball coach.
Holder sent out a statement Tuesday evening saying Ford would remain the coach amid reports and rumors that Ford’s job was in jeopardy. Holder wouldn’t say if replacing Ford was considered, but he said no boosters contacted him about contributing to a $9.6 million buyout.
In 2009, Holder extended Ford’s contract through the 2018-2019 season. Holder said Wednesday he wouldn’t sign any coach to such a lengthy deal in the future.
The 45-year-old Ford has a 143-91 record in seven years at Oklahoma State, but just one NCAA Tournament win. His Cowboys went 18-14 and lost in the round of 64 in this year’s NCAA Tournament.
