Nick Kellogg’s partnership with Chris Holtmann has been a long time coming. More than a decade in the making, in fact.
The pair first spoke when Kellogg, a central Ohio native and son of Buckeye legend Clark Kellogg, was recruited by the Ohio University coaching staff in the late aughts. The staff was led by head coach John Groce, a college teammate of Holtmann's at Taylor University, who gave his longtime friend an assistant coaching position with the Bobcats in 2008.
Holtmann left Ohio following the 2009-10 season, the year before Kellogg began his career with the Bobcats.
