Luke Simons joined Jake Diebler’s staff as an assistant coach in April of 2024.


Simons spent the previous two seasons as the director of basketball operations at Baylor. In Simons’ two years at Baylor, the Bears won 47 games and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament each season.


Before his time at Baylor, Simons was the director of basketball operations for one season at Boston College in 2021-22 and served in the same role at College of Charleston for two seasons from 2019-21.


Simons and Diebler both served on staff for three seasons with Bryce Drew at Vanderbilt from 2016-19. Simons was the program’s director of scouting. During the 2016-16 season, the Commadores were 19-16 overall and earned an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament.


Prior to their time in Nashville, Simons and Diebler were also together at Valparaiso during the 2015-16 season as Simons was the program’s director of scouting. That season, the Crusaders the Crusaders set the program’s single season win record, won a Horizon League championship, and advanced to the finals of the National Invitation Tournament.


Simons spent nearly a decade as a coach and regional coordinator with Athletes in Action, created to help athletes to use their platform as a part of God’s mission. During his time with AIA, he served an integral role in assembling and directing multiple international competitive tours throughout Europe and Asia. Additionally, he created Captains Academy, an AIA leadership initiative to serve influencers specifically in the sport of basketball.


Simons served as Director of Operations for Team USA at three World University Games, a stretch that saw the men's basketball team win two golds and a silver medal. He also co-founded the International Basketball Coaches Experience, an event held annually at the NCAA Final Four.


His international coaching experience also includes working as an assistant coach and Director of Player Development for the Mongolian National Team from 2012-15, helping guide the team to the final round of the 2015 Asian Games. Simons’ coaching background also includes a stint as interim head coach at Black Hawk College in Moline, Ill., and five years as an assistant coach at West Lafayette High School in West Lafayette, Ind.


The Shelbyville, Ind., native is a graduate of Purdue University with a bachelor's degree in movement and sports science.

Talor Battle was named an assistant coach on Jake Diebler’s staff on June 3, 2024. He spent the previous three seasons as an assistant coach at Northwestern.


Battle had a decorated career as a point guard at Penn State and then helped guide one of the best backcourts in the country at Northwestern as the Wildcats had a record-setting season in 2023-24.


In his final season at Northwestern, Battle and the Wildcats notched the school’s second NCAA Tournament berth, had a 22-12 overall record, and finished second in the Big Ten Conference standings with a 12-8 league ledger. For the first time since 1958-59, Northwestern finished second in the league standings, while also setting a school record for conference wins in a single-season.


Wildcat guards of Chase Audige and Boo Buie combined to form one of the best backcourts in the country and in school history. Audige was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, a first at NU since 1994, and an All-Big Ten Second Team selection. Buie, who is Battle’s younger brother, posted one of the best seasons by a point guard in program history and became the first Wildcat named All-Big Ten First Team since 2012. Buie was also a finalist for the Bob Cousy Award, which is awarded to the nation’s best point guard. The duo became the first Northwestern teammates to earn first and second team All-Big Ten honors since 1963-64.


Prior to his time on Chris Collins’ staff at Northwestern, Battle served as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Penn State during the COVID season in 2020-21.


He played professionally overseas for seven years (2011-18) before joining the coaching ranks.


Battle, a 2011 Associated Press honorable-mention All-American, is Penn State's all-time leading scorer with 2,213 career points during his four-year career. He helped lead the Nittany Lions to the 2009 National Invitation Tournament championship, the program's first national title, and a program-record 27 wins that season. He earned All-Big Ten Tournament Team honors in 2011 as Penn State advanced to its first Big Ten Tournament championship game and first NCAA tournament appearance in a decade.


The Albany, N.Y., native is one of only two players to lead Penn State in scoring in four-straight seasons. He was the first Nittany Lion to twice earn All-Big Ten first team, first-team NABC All-District and first-team USBWA honors, and four-time team MVP accolades.


Battle finished his career in the Top-5 of Penn State's career lists for assists (4th; 517), 3-point field goals (3rd; 317), field goals (2nd; 722) and free throws (4th; 452), as well as setting the career record for starts (131) and Big Ten record for career minutes played (4,799).


Battle graduated from Penn State in 2011 with a degree in recreation, park, and tourism management.


He and his wife, Gretchen, are the parents of two daughters, Layna and Stella.

Would rather buy from a fellow Buckeye than a resale site

enjoy

I can't find this game, if you haven't watched it like me, I wont spoil a thriller.

Some of you want to highlight Ryan Day's 2-7 record versus top-5 opponents. It would be relatively easy to "defend" Day's performance in most of those games, but I'm not his defense attorney. Instead, I want to take a look at how some previous Buckeye head coaches fared in big (and little) games:

Woody Hayes

In his last ten seasons, Hayes had six legitimate chances to win national championships and blew all six of them. He posted a losing record against Michigan (4-5-1) including dropping his final three Games; and in bowl games (2-6); and against top-5 competition (4-8-2, going 0-4-1 in his last five attempts). In addition, Hayes lost three games as the #1 ranked team in the country, once to an unranked opponent (Michigan State, 1974); and lost two games as the #2 ranked team, once to an unranked opponent (Missouri, 1976).

1969: #1 Ohio State loses to #12 Michigan, costing the Buckeyes the consensus national championship
1970: #5 Ohio State defeats #4 Michigan
1970: #2 Ohio State loses to #12 Stanford in the Rose Bowl, costing the Buckeyes the AP national title
1971: Ohio State loses 4 games, including to #3 Michigan, to finish the season unranked
1972: #5 Ohio State loses to unranked Michigan State
1972: #9 Ohio State beats #3 Michigan
1972: #3 Ohio State gets blown out by #1 USC in the Rose Bowl, 42-17, costing the Buckeyes a national championship
1973: #1 Ohio State ties #4 Michigan
1973: #4 Ohio State beats #7 USC in the Rose Bowl to finish second in the AP Poll
1974: #1 Ohio State loses to unranked Michigan State
1974: #3 Ohio State beats #2 Michigan
1974: #3 Ohio State loses to #5 USC in the Rose Bowl, costing the Buckeyes the UPI (coaches) national title
1975: #1 Ohio State beats #4 Michigan
1975: #1 Ohio State loses to UCLA in the Rose Bowl, costing the Buckeyes the consensus national championship
1976: #2 Ohio State loses to unranked Missouri
1976: #8 Ohio State ties #4 UCLA
1976: #8 Ohio State loses to #4 Michigan, 22-0
1976: #11 Ohio State beats #12 Colorado in the Orange Bowl
1977: #4 Ohio State loses to #3 Oklahoma
1977: #4 Ohio State loses to #5 Michigan
1977: #9 Ohio State gets blown out by #3 Alabama, 35-6, in the Sugar Bowl
1978: #6 Ohio State loses to #5 Penn State, 19-0
1978: #14 Ohio State ties unranked SMU
1978: #16 Ohio loses to unranked Purdue
1978: #16 Ohio State loses to #6 Michigan
1978: #20 Ohio State loses to #7 Clemson in the Gator Bowl; Hayes punches an opposing player, gets fired the next morning

Earle Bruce

Bruce had one noteworthy season, 1979, his first in Columbus when he went 11-1 as Woody's replacement. In his remaining 8 seasons, Bruce compiled an uninspiring record of 70-31-1. Overall, Bruce had a record of 5-4 against Michigan; 5-3 in bowl games (but 0-2 in the Rose Bowl); and 1-3-1 against top-5 teams (his only win coming against #1 Iowa in 1985). In 1984, Bruce's #2 Buckeyes lost to unranked Purdue.

1979: #2 Ohio State beats #13 Michigan
1979: #1 Ohio State loses to #3 USC in the Rose Bowl, costing the Buckeyes a consensus national championship
1983: #6 Ohio State loses to #2 Oklahoma
1984: #2 Ohio State loses to unranked Purdue
1984: #6 Ohio State loses to #18 USC in the Rose Bowl
1985: #8 Ohio State beats #1 Iowa
1986: #9 Ohio State loses to #5 Alabama
1987: #7 Ohio State ties #4 LSU

John Cooper

I will spare you the details and give you just a synopsis of of the Cooper Era: 2-10-1 versus Michigan; 3-8 in bowl games (but with two of those wins coming in "BCS" bowls); and 2-8 against top-5 opponents (with both wins coming in 1996, against #3 PSU and #2 ASU). Cooper never won a national championship but twice finished #2 in the polls (1996 and 1998).

Jim Tressel

Tressel is beloved by Buckeye fans for his 2002 national championship, his excellent record against Michigan (9-1), and his decent showing in bowl games (6-4, but just 1-2 in national championship contests). Against top-5 competition, Tressel compiled a record of 4-7; he lost his final six games against top-5 opponents, with his last win coming in the epic 2006 Game versus Michigan. Four times Tressel lost a game as the #1 ranked team in the country, twice in national championship games (2006 and 2007); once to #18 Wisconsin (2010); and once to unranked Illinois (2007). Tressel's worst loss came in 2009 when his #7 Buckeyes lost to an unranked Purdue team that finished the season with a record of 5-7. Tressel was fired after the 2010 season (all wins vacated) for lying to the NCAA.

2002: #2 Ohio State beats #1 Miami to win the national championship
2003: #4 Ohio State loses to #5 Michigan
2005: #4 Ohio State loses to #2 Texas
2005: #4 Ohio State beats #5 Notre Dame
2006: #1 Ohio State beats #2 Texas
2006: #1 Ohio State beats #2 Michigan
2006: #1 Ohio State loses to #2 Florida, costing the Buckeyes the national championship
2007: #1 Ohio State loses to unranked Illinois
2007: #1 Ohio State loses to #2 LSU, costing the Buckeyes the national championship
2008: #5 Ohio State loses to #1 USC by the score of 35-3
2008: #10 Ohio State loses to #3 Penn State
2008: #10 Ohio State loses to #3 Texas
2009: #9 Ohio State loses to #3 USC
2009: #7 Ohio State loses to unranked Purdue
2010: #1 Ohio State loses to #18 Wisconsin

Interregnum

As the de facto interim head coach, Luke Fickell compiled a record of 6-7 (3-5 in the Big Ten) with losses to Michigan and to Florida in the Gator Bowl; Fickell did not face a top-5 opponent.

Urban Meyer

Urban Meyer was arguably the best head coach in the history of Ohio State football: his overall record was 83-9 (.902 winning percentage), and he was 7-0 versus Michigan, 5-2 in bowl games (2-1 in playoff games), and 6-2 versus top-5 competition, with three Big Ten titles (2014, 2017, 2018) and a national championship (2014). Even with all that success, Meyer had a few unfathomable lopsided losses to unranked teams during his tenure in Columbus: 2014 to Virginia Tech (35-21); 2017 to Iowa (55-24); and 2018 to Purdue (49-20), with the losses to Iowa and Purdue costing Ohio State a spot in the playoffs.

2014: #8 Ohio State loses to unranked Virginia Tech by the score of 35-21
2014: #4 Ohio State beats #1 Alabama in the Sugar Bowl
2014: #4 Ohio State beats #2 Oregon to win the national championship
2016: #2 Ohio State loses to unranked Penn State
2016: #2 Ohio State beats #3 Michigan
2016: #3 Ohio State loses to #2 Clemson by the score of 31-0
2017: #2 Ohio State loses to #5 Oklahoma
2017: #6 Ohio State beats #2 Penn State
2017: #6 Ohio State loses to unranked Iowa by the score of 55-24, costing the Buckeyes a playoff bid
2017: #8 Ohio State beats #4 Wisconsin
2018: #2 Ohio State loses to unranked Purdue by the score of 49-20, costing the Buckeyes a playoff bid
2018: #10 Ohio State beats #4 Michigan

Ryan Day

Despite having an overall record of 61-9, Ryan Day has developed a reputation for losing big games: he is 1-3* versus Michigan; 2-4 in bowl games; and 2-7 versus top-5 competition. However, unlike Urban Meyer and to some extent Jim Tressel, Day doesn't inexplicably lose games that he is supposed to win, with his "worst" loss coming against #12 Oregon in the 2021 season.

2019: #2 Ohio State loses to #3 Clemson
2020: #3 Ohio State beats #2 Clemson
2020: #3 Ohio State loses to #1 Alabama costing the Buckeyes the national championship
2021: #2 Ohio State loses to #5 Michigan*
2022: #2 Ohio State beats #5 Notre Dame
2022: #2 Ohio State loses to #3 Michigan*
2022: #4 Ohio State loses to #1 Georgia

classic hell of a game

enjoy

just in case anyone is interested

With a heavy heart I have to inform the passing of Jim Kregel. All Big ten guard in his senior year (73). He's was a great neighbor for the last 24 years. I could always expect him to give a GO BUCKS.. or OH when I saw him.

No. 23 Indiana Football is the first FBS team to earn bowl-eligibility following their 6-0 record win.

Just sayin': So far they haven't had that difficult a schedule. Somebody ranked the level of difficulty of their opponents (below) and overall the first 6 teams should definitely be the easiest of the 2 halves. In addition, Ohio State is the only really good team they play all season.
