Jacinta Renee Hoyt (born April 2, 1987)[1] is the head women's college basketball coach for the Oklahoma State Cowgirls.[2]
Hoyt attended Hoxie High School in Kansas and played for her mother, Shelly. Jacie was a three-time all-state selection in volleyball and basketball. She scored more than 2,000 points in her high school career and averaged more than 26 points per game. In her senior season she averaged 28 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds, and 6 steals a game.[3]
Hoyt then attended Colby Community College during her freshman season, playing seven games before breaking her ankle and ending her season. She then transferred to Wichita State, where she played the final three years of her career, starting every game of her junior and senior seasons. In her senior season, 2008–09, she led the Shockers with 71 assists, which ranked fourth in the Missouri Valley Conference.
She graduated magna cum laude from Wichita State.[4]

Hoyt started her coaching career at Fort Hays State before being reunited with her college coach, Jane Albright at Nevada.[6] After three years with Nevada, she would join Kansas State and would help the team get to the WNIT and reach the NCAA tournament twice.
Hoyt was named head coach of the UMKC Roos on May 11, 2017.[7] In the 2019–20 season, the Roos won the WAC regular season and the first game of the 2020 WAC tournament before the rest of the tournament and possibly postseason tournaments were cancelled.
Hoyt was named the head coach of the Oklahoma State Cowgirls on March 20, 2022. [8]
