INDIANAPOLIS – When Chris Holtmann left Butler to coach Ohio State, he knew this could happen: Butler against Ohio State in the PK Invitational at Portland, Ore.
“All I can do is hope and pray this doesn’t end up happening,” he said before the tournament.
Well, it is happening.
Holtmann’s former team meets his current team Sunday in the consolation final of the Motion bracket (3 p.m., ESPN2) at Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
It is not unusual for coaches who leave one school to be pitted against that school later.
