Ohio State men's basketball is targeting interim head coach Jake Diebler to be its next head coach, per Stadium's Jeff Goodman. The Columbus Dispatch's Adam Jardy confirmed the report.
Diebler has been on the Buckeyes' staff for five seasons, serving as associate head coach to Chris Holtmann for the last three seasons. He was named interim coach after Holtmann was fired on Feb. 14 following a 14-11 start to the season and a 4-10 start to conference play.
After Diebler took over, Ohio State won five of its final six games to close out the season.
