OHIO STATE MEN'S BASKETBALL COACH CHRIS HOLTMANN RECEIVES "EXCELLENT" RATING FROM GENE SMITH IN PERFORMANCE REVIEW​

140848_h.jpg


Gene Smith's performance review of Chris Holtmann following last season speaks to the confidence he has in Ohio State basketball's leading man.

While he didn't feel that the team met expectations on the court, the Buckeyes' athletic director gave Holtmann a rating of "excellent" in his performance review, which was recently obtained by The Columbus Dispatch.

The overall tone of the review is one of both frustration at the squad's 16-19 record during the 2022-23 season and optimism that Ohio State can achieve its goals and return to the NCAA Tournament in the 2023-24 campaign.

The Buckeyes signed the No. 8 classes nationally in 2022 and 2023 per the 247Sports composite rankings, contributing to Smith's bright outlook for what's ahead.

"While the athletic performance of the team on the court did not meet expectations, Chris did an excellent job in all other areas," Smith wrote. "Personnel management, budget, communication with all operations, schedule improvement focus, and especially recruiting. Having two ranked classes of recruits gives the program a great chance of success on the court in the future."

Not a big shock to anyone who has been paying attention....it's basketball, there are other metrics along with wins/losses in the consideration. Obviously wins and losses matter, but if he's scoring well in literally everything else, it will have to be a repetitive sub-par thing....

The athletic department will be better for the Smith retirement.

Empty suit who just takes the easy road and hands out the “excellent” reviews so he doesn’t have to do anything difficult.

He's done an admirable job with all tOSU sports. Headed up the BCS committee, and while he may not have pushed for the Buckeyes, he certainly stood in the way from the other seated personnel from downgrading tOSU....PS, he didn't come up with the insanely asinine idea of selling off the Scarlet & Gray golf courses....(where I grew up on), merely to put some more money into the athletic coffers. Cannot replace Alistar McKenzie courses...I give him an A- for his efforts.
