Social Media Reaction to Mike Boynton Hire at OSU
After less than a week for searching for candidates, Oklahoma State has announced assistant Mike Boynton as their new head basketball coach.
There were mixed reactions all over social media. Here were the highlights on Twitter:
The key commonality with both Oklahoma State and also Cal. Money. Didn’t want to invest the money to get big-name coaches.

Came with Underwood from SFA. Former All-SEC point guard, worked closely with Jawun, has the respect and backing of current players. https://t.co/SwfwWowCmT

New @OSUMBB coach, Mike Boynton, was NYC HS star & solid player @ South Carolina. But he's well regarded on the rise young coach. Work to do

This hire extremely clear message to Gottlieb, those who support him: Unless he wants to coach somewhere else first, he won't coach at OSU. https://t.co/YOiUGrmlZY

I understand Boynton's players being on his side. I'm sure they like him. And maybe that gets Evans to stay. But that's such small thinking.

Mike Holder is that guy who gets broken up with, then asks out her best friend.
At least she said yes.

Mike Boynton is from Brooklyn. Mike Holder must have valued continuity over "fit". Or didn't believe in fit after Underwood. #okstate

Oklahoma State AD Mike Holder just threw away school money to hire a search firm that found a coach that was already on staff.

Text from another DI coach says Mike Boynton "exudes right amount of confidence without cockiness." #okstate

Gottlieb – Alum, giving up a sweet job to come, has no plan to ever leave, 0 years as a HC
Boynton – Underwood, will leave, 0 years as a HC

Hey #OKState fans, before sounding defeated, give the new coach a chance. The players endorse him so give the guy a chance!!

Hey, Boone, I think it's time to fire Mike Holder. https://t.co/MreJC7PKFr

Leyton Hammonds said Boynton is one of the best player development coaches he's been around. Gave him credit for improving freshman class.
