Ohio State University has officially named Jake Diebler as the new head coach of the men's basketball team, signing him to a five-year deal. Diebler, who had been serving as the interim head coach, took over the role following the departure of Chris Holtmann. Holtmann recently accepted a coaching position at DePaul University.
Diebler, a native of Ohio, becomes the first Ohioan to lead the Ohio State basketball program in 35 years. With eight seasons of experience at Ohio State, Diebler has demonstrated his coaching abilities, guiding the team to a 6-2 record during his interim tenure.
