Ohio State assistant coach and former player Chris Jent will interview for the vacant Buckeye men's basketball head coaching position today, according to a report from the Columbus Dispatch.
The report indicates current players have been told by athletic director Gene Smith that they'll have a new coach by the end of this week.
Jent, a forward for Ohio State from 1988–1992, spent three years on Thad Matta's staff from 2011–13. After a stint in the NBA, he returned to the Ohio State bench last season.
Matta was relieved of his duties Monday after 13 seasons in Columbus.
