STILLWATER — Roughly 90 seconds after today's opening tip against visiting Kansas, Sean Sutton will look like a man who just stepped out of a sauna wearing business attire. The talented Jayhawks have put quite a few opposing coaches through the ringer, but it actually doesn't matter what team Sutton is facing.

The man was in full flop-sweat against East Tennessee State last December.

But beneath those overtaxed sweat glands lurks one tough hombre.

The Oklahoma State men's basketball coach has sweated his way through some pretty tough times:

•Sutton endured an NCAA investigation while playing for his father, Eddie, at Kentucky.

•As an OSU player, Sean Sutton played his final game in — of all places — Lexington, Ky. He nearly led the Cowboys to an upset victory over Michigan's Fab Five in a Southeast Regional semifinal at Rupp Arena, the same facility where he was booed mercilessly during his sophomore season three years earlier while playing for UK.

•Sutton endured the sorrow of the OSU plane crash seven years ago.

•He took over the program amid his father's embarrassing fall from grace two years ago this month.

If Sean Sutton was able to endure all that, he's certainly capable of handling innuendo concerning his job security.
