As the basketball season inches closer, Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann has added another assistant to his staff, former ECU assistant Mike Netti, as first reported by Pirate Radio 1250/930. One of the few staff members not to follow the head coach from Butler, Netti and Holtmann were assistants together years ago at Gardner-Webb.
Netti was with ECU for four seasons and is known for his recruiting, which is one of Holtmann’s sticking points moving forward with Ohio State’s program. During his time at Gardner-Webb, Netti helped develop two-time A-Sun Conference Defensive Player-of-the-Year Tim Jennings and had two recruiting classes ranked No.
