Report: St. Louis Hires Former OSU Basketball Coach Travis Ford

Former Oklahoma State head men’s basketball coach Travis Ford has been hired by St. Louis University to fill the same position, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Ford and OSU parted ways after this last season after the Cowboys went 12-20 and failed to make the NCAA Tournament. Ford was the coach of the Cowboys for eight seasons and finished with a 155-111 record. The Cowboys made five tournament appearances in those eight years but only advanced past the first round once.

Ford has a connection with the state of Missouri, seeing he played one year at the University of Missouri in 1989-90 before transferring to Kentucky.
