Earlier this month, Ohio State assistant men’s basketball coach Mike Schrage announced that he was leaving Columbus to become the new head coach at Elon University, meaning that head coach Chris Holtmann had a spot to fill on his staff.
On Wednesday, it appears that Holtmann has found Schrage’s replacement by bringing back a member of the Ohio State family. Jake Diebler is reportedly going to be named OSU’s new assistant coach, following stints at Vanderbilt (2016-19) and Valparaiso (2009-13).
Diebler also served as the Buckeyes’ video coordinator from 2013-16 under previous coach Thad Matta.
