Ready for Holden and McNeil to be gone. Neither gives the program much of anything.

That’s not crying. Stop being an a-hole. I suppose you think it would have been funny if he had gotten hurt.

Last minutes of first half after Opkara went to the bench were killers.

16-19 final record, just pathetic. Holtmann should still be fired but he won’t.

You are garbage most days.
Thornton played heavy minutes 4 straight days as primary ball handler and is undoubtedly exhausted. But sure, you go ahead and be an a-hole towards the kid, who has had a great last month.
Any chance you hit the portal this spring and find another favorite team to "root for"?

Significant difference between the Big 10 and the next P5 conference in the Pac12. Wow, didn’t know it was that bad!

Doubt if ND would give Holtmann more than what he is getting at OSU.

Edey fouled out two Duke centers and got 3 on Timme. Why would he be getting preferential calls against those teams? He has one instruction from his coach, be there at the end. He doesn't do near what he could on defense in order to not get fouls.

Season is most likely over. Holtmann all but admitted it during his postgame presser.

Good decision and Gene Smith should consult with his coaches before he opens his mouth.

First of all.... Sean Miller
Secondly, credit to Holtmann for having this team playing extremely hard to close the regular season and go on a nice tournament run. Do I still want them to make a change, absolutely. Holtmann can be a fine coach, I just don't think he gets us over the hump. At this point I want the change because of that reason, I want someone coaching this team where you go "wow, yeah, now that's a name/guy!" But seriously, great job keeping the kids engaged and playing hard to close the season, could have easily folded up to close the season...

He's doing his job. Why does he need to keep his mouth shut?
Well injuries were big this season. And last season there was turmoil with some kids leaving. I'm on the fence with this one.

Skull Session: Gene Smith Told Chris Holtmann "Play the Freshmen," Kyle McCord's Leadership Transition is "Natural" and Brian Hartline Wants to Enhance OSU's Offense
Gene Smith told Chris Holtmann to "play the freshmen," Kyle McCord's leadership transition is "natural" and Brian Hartline is looking to enhance Ohio State's offense.

LOL I could just imagine Smith telling Urban Meyer or Ryan Day how to run the football program.

100% agree. When they beat Iowa and Gayle was clutch down the stretch, I saw Gayle hug Holtmann, and it wasn't one of those awkward dude half-hugs with a chest bump. It was a real, two-handed, sincere embrace. There is clearly a real relationship there with the players, and that matters.

I’m on that fence with you. We certainly don’t know all the dynamics in the locker room.
The players on the court at the end of the season sure showed they are talented And played hard.
Playing a very hurt Key was a disaster.
I struggle getting past the fact that he has never won a conference championship, anywhere. How long do we (actually the university) accept that?

How serious do we think the Holtmann to ND stuff is? Not the first time we've heard this rumor....this much smoke has me wondering....

Well Holtmann himself says he's not going to ND.....so there's that....
Mickey Mitchell still has eligibility? Lol. Don't forget about Luther Muhammad.

Mitchell, along with Gaffney as I previously mentioned itt, was another I thought would pan out. Whew boy, was off the mark on those two.

Yea, no coach has ever lied about leaving.
But I just can’t take that move seriously. Does anyone really think ND bball is a better job than tOSU bball? Not stating it’s a worse job, just not better. Every other step Holtmann has made has been up.

I hope so, watching the NCAA tourney and the fact OSU only won 5 league games and were blown out in several games is beyond bad coaching.
