Chris Holtmann has made his first assistant coaching hire of the offseason.
Former Miami (Ohio) head coach Jack Owens will join the Buckeyes' staff, the Ohio State head coach told Eleven Warriors, replacing outgoing assistant Tony Skinn, who left the program after one season to join Kevin Willard's staff at Maryland.
Owens was the RedHawks' coach for the past five seasons, amassing a record of 70-83 and going 14-18 this past year. In 2020-21, Owens led the team to its first winning record since 2009. Before his tenure at Miami, Owens spent nine seasons on staff at Purdue, spending three as an assistant and his final six as associate head coach.
