Ohio State Basketball Official Thread

  Lots of connected Indiana people kept throwing Donovans name around. He was called. He did not call back. It was all smoke.
  
  Now, the NBA season is over, so maybe more inclined to listen...but seems extremely unlikely.

  Jent getting an interview. Logical choice would have been to make him interim and after the season, keep him or not.

  A friend and I were talking about that last night and that was my stance. Too late in the game to get a legit big-name guy, so put Jent in the "Fickell role" of keeping things on an even keel through this year and then make your move if needed.

  In a normal situation this would be the logical thing to do, but I don't think things are on an "even keel"...just sayin'

  Well alright then...
  
  @GaryParrishCBS
  Chicago Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg has emerged as a real candidate at Ohio State, a source told @CBSSports.
• wildcats20

  

  Interesting...
  
  @GoodmanESPN
  Ohio State is meeting with Creighton's Greg McDermott tonight, source told ESPN. espn.com/espn/now?nowId…
• Laley23

  

  I've heard Hoiberg and Buzz. Either would be light years better than McDermott, imo.
• wildcats20

  

  Hoiberg said publicly he's staying.
  
  Buzz would be a really good hire, imo.
• cat_lover

  I'd be very happy with Buzz Williams.
• wildcats20

  

  Job has been offered to McDermott per Goodman.
  
  Horrible, horrible move.
• Laley23

  

  Reports that McDermott has been offered.
  
  If that's the case, he is the new coach at OSU.
• wildcats20

  

  Prepare for a dirty ass team. Gonna be unwatchable.

  Fuck Grant Gibbs, Fuck Creighton, and Fuck Greg McDermott.
  
  Also, Fuck Gene Smith. This is a horrendous hire.
• wildcats20

  

  A gimpy, not able to do anything other than sit Thad Matta is 100% better than this.
  
  Gene obviously had no plan. This wasn't like "firing" Tress. Everyone knew Urban was coming.

  What a moron. Also, why even meet with OSU then?

  Did he try to get more money from Creighton?
• Heretic

  

  I've been reading that Mike Brown (NBA, former Cavs head coach, current GS assistant and interim head for when Kerr was out, Mr. Potato Head lookalike) is on their radar.
  
  I'm officially depressed.

  any more talk regarding Billy Donovan?
  
  
• Heretic

  

  Quick Google search didn't really have anything more than speculation in the "Well, it looks like a good fit to me!" sort of wishful thinking. But nothing along the lines of him being in talks or that anything concrete might be happening.
• wildcats20

  

  Offer Buzz $4 mil and call it a day.
• The Answer

  I think it's going to be Chris Holtman from Butler.
