    Obviously I could look it up, but what are the NCAA BB guru's views on this guys career? Good, So-So, AA,....??

    His kid (Scott) just interviewed for the NU HC job....he's currently the HC at Oral Roberts...(BTW, What do you call a bunch of queer's named Bob?)

    Anyway, I remember the name (Eddie S.) but can't remember if he had an impact on his profession or not. Just trying to figure out if there's good bloodlines here....

    Eddie was a great coach, at Arkansas and Kentucky and finished at Okla State. He had a cocaine/alcohol problem at Kentucky and the drinking finished him at OSU. But he was a HOF Coach when sober..or not.

    His son Sean Sutton took over for dad but didn't really do much and ended up getting fired and also arrested for drug problems.

    Didn't know he had a son named Scott...put a line on the booze bottles if you have him over for drinks! :wink:
