It’s true Jake Diebler has been given plenty of opportunities to detail his vision for Ohio State basketball, and has done so at several points, not the least of which was when he was first promoted to full-time head coach. But on Tuesday, he fielded a question that called him to drill down on the specific identity he’s trying to establish.
“I want people to see an aggressive, confident, tough team,” Diebler said. “And a team that has fun, plays with a joy. That's one of our values here is joy. When we walk through this building and we have the resources we have and everything, we're gonna operate with a sense of joy and pride in what we do.
