COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State fired seventh-year basketball coach Chris Holtmann on Wednesday with the Buckeyes mired in yet another subpar season.
Ohio State is 14-11, 4-10 in the Big Ten, and has lost nine of the last 11.
None of Holtmann's Ohio State teams won a regular season title or conference tournament.
“I want to express my appreciation toward Chris for the first-class program, and the well-respected program, he has run here at Ohio State,” Ohio State athletics director Gene Smith said.
In 2022, Ohio State gave Holtmann a three-year contract extension that pushed his salary to about $3.5 million per season.
