Lon Kruger Oklahoma Sooners Double Stagger Set Play by Dana Beszczynski

The Lon Kruger Oklahoma Sooners have been up and down lately. They barely hung on to beat Baylor, but they are still in the Top 5. Lon Kruger is a guy that most coaches don’t think about when the talk goes to the best coaches in college basketball. Lon Kruger is a soft spoken and mild mannered leader that gets lost in the shuffle, but he is one of the brightest and most successful coaches in America. He is the the only coach in college basketball history to win NCAA Tournament games with five different programs. He have won game in the NCAA Tournament with Kansas State, Florida, UNLV, Illinois and Oklahoma.

The Lon Kruger Oklahoma Sooners have won 22 games and was ranked #1 in the country for weeks. Coach Kruger believes that he has a knack for rebuilding programs and I would have to agree with him. Anyone that can win at Texas-Pan American can really coach. He has always made the programs better. He believes that it’s always about people. They have a good coaching staff and work hard to get good players and identify young people that want to work hard and make your program better every day.

The Lon Kruger Oklahoma Sooners are very good at “ATO’s” which are “After Time Out Plays”. Coach Kruger was with the Atlanta Hawks as a head coach and one season with the NBA New York Knicks.
He learned how to adapt to his players and put them in the best situations on the court even though he didn’t win much with Atlanta Hawks.

It’s his fifth year with the Oklahoma Sooners and they have gotten better each year. They has great senior leadership in Ryan Spangler, Buddy Hield and Isaiah Cousins. They have changed the culture with their work ethic and desire to make good plays. They’ve set a tone that will benefit the program for many years after they’re here.

The Lon Kruger Oklahoma Sooner have incredible highs with wins over Villanova and West Virginia and incredible lows with gut-wrenching losses to Kansas in triple overtime and Texas Tech. It will be very interesting how they do in the Big 12 Conference Tournament. I think that they have their best basketball ahead of them.
