Jake Diebler's first assistant coaching staff is complete.
On Monday, Ohio State basketball announced the hiring of former Penn State player Talor Battle, who had been an assistant coach at Northwestern since 2021, for the fifth and final assistant coaching spot on this year’s staff.
“Talor has great experience in the Big Ten both as a player and as a coach and I’m excited to welcome him to the Buckeye family,” Diebler said in a release. “He is elite at player development which is evident by the success Northwestern has had the past couple of seasons. He has the ability to recruit at a high level and knows what it takes to be successful in this conference.
