Oklahoma State basketball analyst and 38-year coaching veteran Barry Hinson will be the keynote speaker for the annual Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce banquet Monday, Jan. 31.

With the theme of “Boots & Bling,” the event begins with networking and games at 5:30 p.m., followed by a steak dinner at 6:30 p.m. at the Kingfisher County Fairgrounds exhibit building.

The Citizen of the Year and Volunteer of the Year also will be recognized.

“Break out your boots and jeans and don’t forget those hats,” Chamber Executive Director Shauna Rupp said. “Everyone will be in store for laughter and inspiration from our keynote speaker and don’t forget there are opportunities to win cash prizes.”

A 1983 OSU graduate, Hinson owns a 321-246 (.566) career record as the head coach at Oral Roberts (1997-99), Missouri State (1999-08) and Southern Illinois (2012-2019), and also spent four seasons on Bill Self’s staff at Kansas (2008-12).

After 16 seasons and 155 league victories, Hinson was known as the Dean of the Missouri Valley Conference. Only Henry Iba (21 years, 190 wins), Eddie Hickey (20, 163) and Dana Altman (16, 178) coached more seasons or won more games as a head coach in the history of that league.

In 18 total seasons as a head coach, Hinson had 14 winning seasons, including eight seasons with at least 19 wins, finished in the top three of his conference nine times and advanced to the NIT on four occasions.

Hinson is a native of Marlow and was coached by former Cowboy and Stillwater High School head coach Jerry Havens, who also gave Hinson his first coaching jobs at Stillwater Junior High (1982-85) and Stillwater High School (1985-86).

Hinson next coached at Edmond Memorial High School (1986-87) before being named the head coach at Tulsa’s Bishop Kelley High School (1987-93).

His accolades at Bishop Kelley earned him a spot on Bill Self’s coaching staff at Oral Roberts in 1993.
