Ohio State may continue to look for some big names to fill Thad Matta’s shoes as the new head coach for Buckeye basketball. But they’re also reportedly willing to look a little closer to home as well.
Adam Jardy of the Columbus Dispatch reports that Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith will interview Chris Jent for the job today. Jardy also adds that
A source has said that some current players on the team have been told by Smith that they will have a new coach by the end of this week.
Jent isn’t the sexiest name being tied to the opening, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be a good hire.
