Porter Moser will return as Oklahoma's basketball coach after late run, new AD pledges more support
Porter Moser will lead Oklahoma men’s basketball into a sixth season after a late-season surge, confirmed by the athletic director.
- On Saturday, Oklahoma athletic director Roger Denny confirmed that head coach Porter Moser will return for a sixth season, with the decision aimed at aligning program resources with university expectations for men's basketball.
- Denny made the decision Wednesday before the SEC Tournament began, citing a need to realign the program's structure after evaluating how the team has historically outperformed its limited resources under Moser's leadership.
- The Sooners finished 19-15 this season, rallying to win eight of 10 games before falling to Arkansas in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals; Moser's buyout would have been approximately $5.8 million had the university moved on.
- Denny promised increased investments in staffing and NIL opportunities for 2026-27, stating "It's my job to ensure that our resources match our expectations" as the administration commits to supporting the program's growth.
- Oklahoma awaits its postseason fate on Selection Sunday after falling to Arkansas in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals, with the team hoping to secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament field despite uncertainty.
