"We have great confidence in Curtis, as he has proven his strengths during his many years at Oklahoma Christian,” said OC president Mike O’Neal. "Curtis has a great understanding of our mission and the role athletics plays in it. We also believe Curtis is a man of great vision who will push our athletic department to great results.”

Janz, also the chair of OC’s physical education department, will remain on the basketball staff through the season. Chuck White, who served as interim AD, remains director of athletic operations and head baseball coach.
