My short list for Ohio State's new men's basketball coach https://t.co/fwVbBg4jJ2
feel like i've been disconnected from ohio state basketball for so long that I have no idea who fans even *want* the program to hire now. What's the perceived best-case scenario here, hire-wise?
This move was made by outgoing Ohio State AD Gene Smith, and not incoming athletic director Ross Bjork. https://t.co/mwZUzqZnMC
With Chris Holtmann's firing at Ohio State, expect the next hire to be a Ross Bjork decision, not Gene Smith. Smith will obviously be involved re: advising, etc., but this should ultimately be Bjork's call as he transitions into the AD chair in Columbus.
Ohio State’s candidate pool is probably deeper than Louisville’s as far as reasonable options. Greg McDermott Sean Miller Nate Oats Lamont Paris Dusty May Mick Cronin Porter Moser Healthy NIL and resources. A sitting high major coach will take this one.
