Terence Dials is returning to the Ohio State basketball program.
Thirteen years after he was named the Big Ten player of the year in 2006, Dials has joined Chris Holtmann's coaching staff as the director of professional development, Ohio State announced on Wednesday.
Dials, who played for Ohio State between 2001 and 2006, effectively replaces former director of player development Scoonie Penn who left the program to become an assistant coach for the Memphis Grizzlies a month ago.
“I couldn’t be happier to be a part of a program that gave me the opportunity to live my dream,” Dials said in a statement.
