Getty Images filePolice also filed complaints against Sutton for speeding and crossing the center line.
Under Oklahoma law, driving under the influence can include a range of substances, including prescription painkillers or alcohol. The university said it would not comment on the DUI citation because of privacy and legal reasons.
When Sutton came to his alma mater in 1990, he acknowledged he had undergone treatment for a drinking problem and said “I’ve dealt with it.”
In Monday’s statement, Sutton said he had been under a tremendous amount of stress because of “my deteriorating physical condition and other issues.”
Sutton has weathered other tough times to become the fifth winningest men’s coach in Division I history, trailing only Dean Smith (879), Adolph Rupp (876), Bob Knight (866) and Jim Phelan (830).
“I hope he’s back next year. I mean this sincerely,” Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson said. “I’ve never coached against a better coach than Eddie Sutton.”
Sutton resigned in 1989 from a Kentucky program placed on four years’ probation. In 2001, a plane crash killed two Oklahoma State basketball players and six team staffers.
The Cowboys have advanced to postseason play 14 times in 15 years under Sutton, including 13 NCAA tournament appearances. He took the Cowboys to the Final Four in 1995 and 2004. He also reached the Final Four with Arkansas.
After last season, there was much speculation about whether Sutton would retire. Instead of stepping aside, he stayed on and his son became his replacement in waiting, though no specific timetable was given for the change of power.
After Monday’s loss, the Cowboys dropped to 13-12 and 3-8 in the Big 12 with five regular-season games left. Sutton recently criticized his team’s toughness, calling it the “softest team in 16 years that I have ever coached.”
Sutton spoke to players twice Sunday, assistant coach James Dickey said during the Big 12 coaches conference call Monday.
“I’m sure they were disappointed,” Dickey said. “As you can imagine, the players listened intently. But they all wished him the best, told him they loved him. He told them he loved them, to stay on the books and play hard and do their best.”
