Chris Holtmann

The current Butler Bulldogs’ coach has done a phenomenal job since taking over for Brad Stevens. Last season, he led the Bulldogs to a second place Big East finish, to the NCAA Tournament, and to the Sweet 16.

Holtmann might be the easiest get for Ohio State, as well, since he coached and recruited well in Ohio before with the Ohio Bobcats.
