Travis Ford leaving Umass for a B job


Travis Ford replaced Sean Sutton when the two were still playing college basketball. He'll do it again in the coaching profession.

Ford agreed Wednesday to leave his job as Massachusetts' coach to take over Sutton's old position at Oklahoma State. A news conference was planned in Stillwater on Thursday to formally introduce him.

In a twist of fate, Ford has been in a position to follow Sutton once before. After growing up in Kentucky, Ford ended up leaving the state to start his college career when the coach seemed headed toward playing his son at the point guard position.
