Former Ohio State assistant Chris Jent to reportedly rejoin Buckeyes' staff
Kyle Terada-USA TODAY SportsThad Matta needed to make a splash when it came to replacing Jeff Boals on Ohio State's coaching staff. Re-hiring former assistant Chris Jent would qualify as such a move.
As evidently broken by former Buckeye Mark Titus (and previously speculated by Scout.com's Brian Snow), Jent appears to be returning to Columbus, where the former Buckeye player served as one of Matta's assistants from 2011-13. Jent, who scored over 1,000 points during his playing days at Ohio State from 1988-92, has been an assistant coach for four different NBA teams and served as LeBron James' personal shooting coach for four years while he was as assistant with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
