Here’s the brief press release issued by Oklahoma State following the dismissal of head men’s basketball coach Mike Boynton:

Oklahoma State Athletic Director Chad Weiberg announced today that Mike Boynton will not return as men’s basketball head coach.

“For seven years, Coach Boynton has led this program and represented this university with class,” Weiberg said. “We’re grateful for the genuine passion and care he has for the student-athletes on our team. Unfortunately, the desired results have not followed. Therefore, it is time to part ways and begin a new chapter. We wish Coach Boynton and his family the very best.”

A national search has begun for his replacement.
