LUKE SIMONS JOINS JAKE DIEBLER'S STAFF AT OHIO STATE AS AN ASSISTANT COACH
Jake Diebler continues to add to his staff of assistant coaches.
Ohio State announced the hiring of Baylor director of basketball operations Luke Simons as an assistant coach on Thursday.
“I’m excited to welcome Luke as he’s going to be a great addition to our staff,” Diebler said in a statement. “He has the ability to connect with players at every level and his versatility is really important. He’s been on staff at the collegiate level, and he has international coaching experience as well. Those experiences are going to be valuable for our program as we move forward.”
Simons joins Joel Justus, Jamall Walker and Dave Dickerson on what will be a brand new staff of assistant coaches for the 2024-25 season. Ohio State can still add one more assistant coach.
Simons and Diebler worked together at Vanderbilt for three seasons, where both helped head coach Bryce Drew to a 19-16 overall record and an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament in 2017.
