Looks like Ohio St may go with interim coach Jake Diebler for permanent coach.

Good.
Who knows, he may be very successful. I think it’s pretty safe to say that he wasn’t/isn’t on IU’s radar.
"That's a bold move, Cotton, let's see if it pays off for them". When does this ever work?
Next February.....we will hear "the guys are just learning to play together...its been an adjustment period.....these things take time to gel."
Not surprising after the way he turned that team around.
Might work out, but odds are against hiring someone with no head coaching experience, especially at this level. Yes, OSU played well during his interim status, but if I was an OSU fan I wouldn’t be happy about this hire.
The first name that pops to mind for CBB is Steve Fisher. But that obviously has a big asterisk next to it.
In CFB, Dabo Swinney was an interim who got the full-time HC job at Clemson.
he's done well so far
not a bad move......
as long as they don't give him a 6 yr. 4.2 million dollar contract, a 12 million dollar buyout and a million dollar raise to sneak into the tourney
Yeah, I thought of him. I just didn’t think I’d classify him as having turned out to be a success.
But he took an IU team to the finals as the HC - and was sure as hell the last one to do so. Can’t take that away from him.
"Yeah, I thought of him. I just didn’t think I’d classify him as having turned out to be a success."
In my humble opinion.... Mike Davis was just a RIde Along coach on that team.
If I am remembering correctly, those players were Coach Knights players from when he got fired.
To me..... Those players were playing in that tournament for Coach Knight. All the hustle and heart
that those players gave in that tournament, go back to fighting to prove something to the
School Admin over what they did.
Of course.... that's just my feelings

That team was crazy good at 3's. I remember they hit 17 against Illinois. Jeffries and Newton both were good at getting the ball down low and then if they didn't have anything pass out to Fife,Hornsby, or Coverdale who could all fill it up.
CJD has been gifted a great opportunity and incredibly fortunate to have it.
He was an assistant coach at Vandy when they lost every single SEC game and got fired. Holtman threw him a lifeline. Look what happened.
