It’s official, Chris Holtmann is the next head coach of the Ohio State men’s basketball team. The former Butler head man, while not a huge household name, is certainly a guy that brings a lot to the table in Columbus. He’s been a head coach for six years, serving stints at Gardner-Webb, and Butler. In those six years, Holtmann has put up a 114-85 record, or just about 57%, though his best work was done in his three years at Butler, where he accumulated a 70-31 record, just under 70%.
Holtmann is usually thought of as a developer, and that’s fair, though his recruiting prowess should not be overlooked.
