Oklahoma State & Indiana Prepare For New Coaches

Two big time college basketball programs are making the adjustment to the idea of new leadership.

Oklahoma State basketball coach Eddie Sutton was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol today, a week after tests showed his blood alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit following a car crash. The 69 year old coach is seeking treatment for an alcohol problem, and is officially on a medical leave of absence from the school. He's fifth on the NCAA Division I career coaching wins list with 794.

Indiana Hoosiers 's basketball coach Mike Davis has announced his resignation, effective at the end of the season. Mike Davis has had a very rocky and very verbal relationship with school officials and the Hoosier fans.
