Chris Holtmann (ex-tOSU Bball coach, HC at DePaul)

This cat is going to reach legend status before he hits the 10 year mark. What a freaking run we've had since we nabbed Thad and just carried on with this master.

Seems familiar, huh? tOSU only hires legends in Football, Basketball and Wrestling. Now if we could just get Gene to take a look at Baseball. :sneaky:

CHRIS HOLTMANN, KEY OHIO STATE BASKETBALL STAFFERS EXCEED EXPECTATIONS IN 2018-19 PERFORMANCE REVIEWS

108922_h.jpg


After a year that Chris Holtmann called “difficult and yet rewarding” in his performance review during the offseason, Gene Smith evaluated that the head coach “exceeded expectations” for the second year in a row.

The Buckeyes, who had lost Keita Bates-Diop and Jae’Sean Tate in the offseason, began the season with a 12-1 record, ascending to No. 13 in the Associated Press top-25 rankings. They went 1-6 in January and rebounded with a 5-3 record in February before ending the regular season with three straight losses. Ohio State won a game in the Big Ten tournament and upset fifth-seeded Iowa State in the NCAA tournament, then lost to Houston in the second round, ending its season with a 20-15 record.

In an annual performance review completed during the offseason that Eleven Warriors obtained on Tuesday, athletic director Smith called Holtmann’s performance with the 2018-19 basketball team “exceptional.”

“The academic performance of the team was outstanding,” Smith wrote in his review of Holtmann. “He continues to develop a culture of character, compliance, and focus of on the total development of his student athletes. His staff continues to be aligned and stronger despite losing a talented assistant (Mike Schrage) to a Head Coach position. The competitive performance of the team exceeded expectations especially considering the adversity with player absences.”

In his own review, Holtmann touted the players – and specifically the upperclassmen – for their ability to “work thru some things and finish in a very positive way due to the quality of people they are.”

Holtmann called the Big Ten season “difficult” due to “injuries, not playing well and the suspension at the end,” referring to Kaleb Wesson missing three games at the end of the regular season. He also noted his disappointment that no players earned All-Big Ten nods.

“Hopefully in the future we can have the kind of success that will lead to our players earning all-conference selections,” Holtmann wrote. “Overall this was a very rewarding group to coach.”
