Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 2519166, member: 10"] By the way, sometimes making a coaching change pays off right away with just a team attitude adjustment and doesn't have to be a long rebuilding process. If you find the right guy. I present this year's Ohio State team. [URL='https://sports.yahoo.com/chris-holtmann-ohio-state-atop-big-ten-rebuilding-season-043515417.html']Chris Holtmann has Ohio State atop the Big Ten in what should be a rebuilding season[/URL] [I]Many members of the supporting cast around Bates-Diop have improved under Holtmann. Guard C.J. Jackson has provided much-needed playmaking and perimeter shooting all season and has cut down his turnovers in recent weeks. Guard Jae’Sean Tate has scored efficiently when attacking the rim off the bounce while also impacting the game defensively with his long arms, quick hands and relentless hustle. Promising 6-foot-9 freshman Kaleb Wesson has provided the low-post scoring presence Ohio State has lacked in recent seasons. Something else Holtmann deserves credit for is the obvious chemistry and camaraderie on this year’s team. Twenty-five of Ohio State’s 29 baskets against Maryland on Thursday night came via assists, a remarkable percentage that speaks to the unselfishness of the Buckeyes and the quality of the sets that Holtmann was running.[/I] [/QUOTE]
