Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.

Ohio State hires Jamall Walker as an assistant coach​

Jake Diebler continues to fill out his first coaching staff at Ohio State. Just a day after assistant coach Brandon Bailey departed the program to join former head coach Chris Holtmann at DePaul, the Buckeyes announced the hiring of Jamall Walker as the Buckeyes' newest assistant.

Walker, 46, spent the last four seasons as an assistant coach at Grand Canyon under head coach Bryce Drew, who worked with Dielber at Valparaiso and hired him as an assistant coach when he took over the program at Vanderbilt. He has more than 20 years of college coaching experience, including stops at Ohio University and Illinois, where he worked with former Scarlet and Gray assistant coach John Groce.

"I could not be more happy to welcome Jamall and his family to the Ohio State basketball family," Diebler said in the release announcing Walker's hire. "Jamall's recruiting success, his experience in the Big Ten as well as working with a coach like Bryce Drew were all really important intangibles that I was looking for when filling out a staff. He's got a great defensive mind and a tremendous ability to connect with players. He's going to be a great asset for our program."
