Ohio State men's basketball has hired interim head coach Jake Diebler to be its next full-time head coach, the team announced Sunday.
"Throughout the search, every time we analyzed what was best for the program, our decision kept leading right back to Jake," Senior Advisor for Intercollegiate Athletics Ross Bjork said in a statement. "The way he has led the program since February 14 has been exemplary and is only the beginning of what lies ahead for Buckeye Basketball. The future is exciting, and I cannot wait to watch him lead this program."
Stadium's Jeff Goodman and The Columbus Dispatch's Adam Jardy first reported the team was targeting Diebler for the permanent role.
