The Ohio State men’s basketball program is getting all the help they can ahead of Chris Holtmann’s inaugural season in Columbus, Ohio. With a shortened offseason, player departures and late-signees, the Buckeyes will have another bit of help in the front office with the addition of James (Scoonie) Penn as Ohio State’s Director of Player Development.
“We are really excited about Scoonie being a part of our staff,” Holtmann said. “All of Buckeye Nation will know that he is one of the all-time great players and ambassadors of our program. His connection to past and present players is impressive and something I was looking for in this position.
