Ohio State basketball made headlines over the weekend when they officially hired Jake Diebler as the next head coach of the Buckeyes, inking him to a five year deal. Diebler led the Buckeyes to a 6-2 record after taking over as interim head coach following the departure of Chris Holtmann. Despite the immediate turnaround, is an 8 game sample size enough to justify the hire when other proven coaches were seemingly available? Or did Ohio State panic and try to appeal to Buckeye fans who immediately fell in love with the passion and emotion that Diebler displayed?
