Oklahoma State women’s basketball coach Jacie Hoyt has signed a contract extension through the 2030-31 season, locking in her leadership following consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and a massive roster overhaul, the school announced Monday afternoon.
Contract Extension Details and Coaching Timeline
The new agreement extends Hoyt’s tenure on the Cowgirl sideline by an additional year past her previous deal, which ran through the 2030 season with an annual base salary of $830,000. Financial terms of the latest extension were not immediately disclosed by the university.
Since taking over the program, Hoyt has guided the Cowgirls to three NCAA Tournaments across her four seasons in Stillwater. Her back-to-back tournament bids in the last two years mark a consistency the program hasn’t achieved since the 2015-16 season.
Roster Turnover and High-Profile Additions
Only one player returned from the 2025-26 squad, forcing Hoyt and her staff to rebuild almost entirely through the transfer market.

To fill the gaps, Hoyt secured the nation’s top-ranked transfer portal class. The incoming talent pool features high-impact additions, including former Iowa State All-American center Audi Crooks and Florida point guard Liv McGill.
Athletic Department Perspective on Program Growth
Oklahoma State athletic director Chad Weiberg praised the direction of the program under Hoyt’s guidance. In a statement released by the school, Weiberg highlighted her ability to adapt to modern collegiate athletics.
“Coach Hoyt has successfully guided our program through the changing landscape of college basketball and has continued to build Cowgirl Basketball into one that contends for conference championships and consistently plays and advances in the NCAA Tournament,” Weiberg said. “We’re excited about this upcoming season and the future under her leadership.”
