The Oklahoma State women’s basketball coach and an assistant coach were killed Thursday night when the small plane that carried them on a recruiting trip crashed in Arkansas, the university said. The deaths of Kurt Budke, the head coach, and Miranda Serna, an assistant, came a decade after two Oklahoma State men’s basketball players and eight others died in a plane crash near Denver while returning from a game at the University of Colorado in Boulder. The pilot and another passenger, both of whom remained unidentified, also died in Thursday’s crash. They were aboard a single-engine Piper plane about 45 miles west of Little Rock, Oklahoma State said.

Didn't they already go through this a few years ago?
