When Ohio State assistant coach Tony Skinn was asked for his thoughts on the Buckeyes’ upcoming NCAA Tournament opponent during his appearance on Monday’s edition of The Chris Holtmann Show, he singled out Loyola’s starting point guard as a player he’d rather be coaching than preparing to coach against.
“Their point guard, Braden Norris, he’s tough,” Skinn said. “He’s one of those players that you hate to play against but you’d love to have on the side of your team.”
Had Ohio State offered Norris when he entered the transfer portal three years ago, it’s very possible Skinn and the rest of the Buckeyes’ staff would be coaching him now.
