Purdue Assistant Coach Terry Johnson Still Has Relationships With Ohio State Staff, Says “It Will Be Weird” to Face His Former Team

Terry Johnson no longer coaches for Ohio State, but his ties to the program – and the people who run it – have not dissolved.

Just last week, the first-year Purdue assistant drove from West Lafayette to Columbus to pay one last visit to the orthodontist he saw during his four years with the Buckeyes, and Johnson couldn’t help but swing by his old workplace while he was in the neighborhood.

“I just drove by the Schott and I saw a couple guys, said hello outside before I drove back. … I talked to the strength coach (Quadrian Banks) and Robbie Rucki, a program assistant, and I saw Terence Dials,” Johnson told Eleven Warriors Saturday.
