OSU coach Jim Littell argues a call during the Oklahoma State vs. Texas Tech women's basketball game on Wednesday, February 26, 2020 at Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater.
Adam Luther/O'Colly
Jim Littell is out as OSU women's basketball coach.
With the new opening and an immediate search underway,
The O'Colly compiled a list of potential names to watch in the process.
Amaka Agugua-Hamilton (Missouri State head coach)
She’s widely tabbed as one of the best young up-and-coming coaches in the country. In her two full seasons in Springfield, she led the Lady Bears to two conference titles and a sweet sixteen appearance.
Angie Nelp (Tulsa head coach)
An Okie who has elevated TU’s program.
Tari Cummings (Baylor Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator)
A former All-Big 12 Cowgirl is an upcoming coaching star, a homecoming could be in the cards.
Mark Kellogg (Stephen F. Austin head coach)
Mark Kellogg has never had a losing record. OSU has hired a coach from Stephen F. Austin before; it didn’t last long.
Katrina Merriweather (Memphis head coach)
A bright coach Katrina Merriweather led Wright State to two NCAA Tournament appearances in her tenure and is now at the reins of Memphis. She won the Horizon league three times in five years.
Amy Mallon (Drexel head coach)
It won’t be easy to pry Amy Mallon from Drexel made the NCAA Tournament in her first head coaching year and is 24-4 this season.

She landed the highest ranked recruit in Wake Forest history since 2014, 2021 No. 60-ranked Raegyn Conley.
Erika Lambert (Abilene Christian associate head coach, recruiting coordinator)
Sometimes the best candidates aren’t the obvious ones. Abilene Christian has been on the rise, Erika Lambert is a big part why.
Lindy La Rocque (UNLV head coach)
As one of the youngest DI coaches she led one of the youngest squads to a second place finish in the Mountain West in her first year in 2020-21. She also won conference coach of the year.
Vernette Skeete (Texas A&M co-associate head coach)
Her career skyrocketed at Marquette, and she’s had a year to learn from legendary Gary Blair.
Billy Fennely (Iowa State assistant coach)
He assists his dad in Ames but could beat him as a Cowgirl coach.
Brooke Wycoff (Florida State associate head coach)
When Sue Semrau took a year off, Wycoff stepped in and led Florida State to the NCAA Tournament.
Dionnah Jackson-Durrett (Texas Associate head coach)
She’s a former Sooner but a dynamic recruiter.
Shannon LeBeauf (UCLA associate head coach)
Shannon LeBeauf has recruited more top 100 players in 11 years with the Bruins than OSU has in its history.

Doug Gottileb (Fox Sports)
He’s wanted an OSU basketball coaching gig before, here’s an opening.
