OSU Bullets

• Appreciated this deep dive on (what appears to be) lead candidate Steve Lutz (Feels Like 45 Podcast) • Pistols Firing is partnering with Pokes With a Purpose for their raffle coming up on 4/28 – don’t forget to enter (PFB) • As we await news on the OSU coaching search, Bill Haisten honed in on two details that could be impacting negotiations: 

It is believed that Oklahoma State will go as high as $3 million as the initial compensation for a new coach. Even if it’s $2.5 million or $2.2 million, it’s a heck of a lot more than the $750,000 (Steve) Lutz is collecting in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Money is important, but isn’t the opportunity also important? Isn’t a Big 12 opportunity really important?

Is there a squabble over contract length? If Lutz or any candidate asks for more than five years on a first contract, I would erase them from consideration. [TulsaWorld]

• Cowgirl Equestrian won its fourth-straight Big 12 title over the weekend (O’Colly) • This would be a heck of a shot chart for the Cowboys if a coach can find the personnel to accomplish it:

Alabama is headed to its first Final Four in program history…and an important reason why: Oats' emphasis on +EV shot selection.

Through tonight, the Tide have attempted just two total mid-range jumpers in four tournament games (17' to 3PT).
