Assistant men's basketball coach Jeff Boals is leaving Ohio State to become head coach at Stony Brook, according to multiple reports.
Boals has worked for coach Thad Matta at OSU for the past seven seasons. Before that he was an assistant at Akron, Robert Morris and Marshall.
Boals replaces Steve Pikiell, who left Stony Brook last month to become head coach at Rutgers.
Pikiell led the Seawolves to the NCAA tournament this season and won at least 20 games six of the past seven seasons at the school on Long Island, N.Y.
