Welcome to a new era of Ohio State baskeball.
Chris Holtmann was officially announced Friday as the 14th head coach in program history. Holtmann replaces Thad Matta, who was let go Monday after 13 successful seasons leading the Buckeyes.
Who, exactly, is Chris Holtmann, though? Well, we did some research and wrote an introductory piece, which you can read here. But until Holtmann speaks publicly for the first time about his new gig — his first news conference is scheduled for 11 a.m. Monday at Value City Arena — we figured the best way to introduce the next Ohio State head coach would be through the work of others who covered him along his journey to Columbus.
