Yeats named Director of Operations for Cowboy Basketball
June 07, 2024 | Cowboy Basketball
Oklahoma State head men's basketball coach Steve Lutz has hired Alannah Yeats as the program's new Director of Basketball Operations.
Â
Yeats (pronounced "Yates") was a key member of Lutz's support staffs at both Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Western Kentucky and will again play an integral role in the day-to-day operations at OSU with a wide range of responsibilities tied to team travel, equipment, scheduling, and other logistics.
Â
"Alannah is organized, intelligent, and always ready to tackle any task, no matter how difficult," Lutz said. "She's a team player with high character and excellent communication skills who will help Cowboy Basketball run at peak efficiency. I'm happy that she's decided to join us in Stillwater."
Â
Yeats played a valuable behind the scenes role during the 2023-24 season at Western Kentucky, helping the Hilltoppers to 22 wins, the Conference USA tournament title and the program's first NCAA tournament bid since 2013.
Â
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi enjoyed similar success during Yeats' time on staff with back-to-back appearances in the Big Dance. The Islanders won the Southland Conference tournament in 2022 and swept the league's regular season and tournament crowns a year later.
Â
The Houston native served as the Islanders' head manager from 2020-23, assisting the coaching and equipment staff with day-to-day scheduling and other special projects, including recruiting visits, summer camps, travel and even social media.
