Tom Izzo knows what it takes to win a national championship. He believes Chris Holtmann has what it takes to do the same.
Ohio State lost 14 of 15 games during a stretch in the second half of last season, which made many people – analysts and fans alike – question Holtmann's job security. But the Buckeyes finished the year with five wins in their final seven games, and Izzo thinks Holtmann being able to keep the team back on track will pay dividends in the near future, including a possible Final Four berth and national championship.
"I think you've done a hell of a job there and it's not an easy job," Izzo said during an appearance on Holtmann’s podcast, More Than Coach Speak.
