A recent feature from The Athletic on former Butler basketball coach Chris Holtmann highlights the hours bookending the moment he took Ohio State's coaching job.
We knew it wasn't easy for him, as Gregg Doyel wrote when the story first broke. But The Athletic has some cool details about how that day unfolded — and just how hesitant Holtmann was.
He wanted to talk with his own boss, Butler athletic director Barry Collier. He didn’t say no. He simply wasn’t ready to say yes. “I was just a little more apprehensive than maybe what they were ready for me to be,” Holtmann says.
