Chris Holtmann is out as Ohio State's men's basketball coach, sources told ESPN.

Holtmann was nearing the end of his seventh season at the helm in Columbus. The Buckeyes lost for the ninth time in 11 games Tuesday with their 62-54 loss at Wisconsin. The defeat dropped the Buckeyes to 4-10 in the Big Ten and 14-11 overall.

Holtmann has more than $14 million remaining on his fully guaranteed contract, sources told ESPN.

Holtmann led Butler to three straight NCAA tournaments before Ohio State hired him to replace Thad Matta in 2017.
