INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis-to-Ohio State-to-Indianapolis connection continues for Butler basketball.
Greg Oden and Jon Diebler, both former Ohio State players under coach Thad Matta, have been formally appointed to Matta’s Butler staff. The news was first reported by IndyStar.
Oden will be director of basketball operations and Diebler director of recruiting. The three full-time assistant coaches are Mike Pegues, Kevin Kuwik and David Ragland.
Thad Matta returns to Butler:'I think I found the perfect situation.'
"Greg and Jon are widely known for the success they had on the court, but what they will bring to our staff and Butler far exceeds that collegiate and professional playing experience," Matta said Friday in a news release.
