Ohio State and men’s basketball coach Chris Holtmann have agreed to a three-year contract extension that will keep him in Columbus through the 2027–28 season, per a release from the school. The contract is pending approval from the university's Board of Trustees.
Holtmann will make $3.5 million annually as part of the new contract, which is a $500,000 salary increase from his prior deal.
Since arriving at Ohio State from Butler, Holtmann has gone 107–56 across five seasons, which has included four trips to the NCAA tournament. The lone season that Holtmann did not take the Buckeyes to the Big Dance was in 2020 when the tournament was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, though the team would have made it in.
