Former Cavaliers guard Mark Price has taken over the HC position at UNC Charlotte because Alan asked us to his position due to his numerous absences because of his medical situation.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- If Alan Major ever gets the urge to get on a plane and help Ohio State basketball try to seal the deal on Gary Trent Jr. or any other recruit, he can't.

If Major ever wants to get on the floor with Keita Bates-Diop and work on some post moves, he can't do that either. At least not his current role.

but he can do the following

Major can talk basketball with players, spend time with them off the court. He'll be at games, and though he can't coach during the game, he can take notes and help players correct things during the week through film and discussion.

On the recruiting side of things, Major will be heavily involved in on-campus visits and helping put together the program's overall recruiting plan. Matta has had others in that role, using Chris Spartz and Kyle Davis as program's recruiting and operations coordinator in recent years.

Spartz has since left to start his own basketball training business, and Davis was announced as Ohio State's new video coordinator on Wednesday. So now those duties fall mostly under Major, who will still have some help from Davis.
