Thad Matta
Men’s Basketball Coach 2005-17
Thad Matta led the Buckeyes to 337 wins from 2005-17, making him the all-time leader in victories among Ohio State’s 14 head coaches in the history of the program. By any measure, Matta put together one of the most memorable and productive coaching tenures in Big Ten and Ohio State history.

Along the way Matta’s Buckeyes appeared in two NCAA Final Fours (2007, 2012), posted three 30-win seasons, won four Big Ten Tournament titles, earned five Big Ten regular-season titles, made nine NCAA Tournament appearances, recorded 12 20-win seasons and guided Ohio State to 18 NCAA Tournament wins. These are just a few of the many accomplishments for the Ohio State record books accumulated during his historic tenure in Columbus.

Individually, Evan Turner claimed the Big Ten and National Player of the Year in 2010, Terence Dials was the league MVP in 2006, Greg Oden (2007) and Aaron Craft (2014) earned national defensive players of the year, four players were Big Ten Freshman of the Year award winners, five were named First Team All-Americans, seven were NBA First Round draft choices with 10 taken overall and 11 earned First Team All-Big Ten honors.

would like to know who those programs were who came with open checkbooks in november. d'angelo didn't exactly go through the recruiting process like most blue-chip players. didn't come out with a top 5/10/whatever. pretty much just committed to osu sorta out of the blue. however, if i remember correctly, the main competition for him was arizona, louisville, and indiana. certainly arizona and louisville... which wouldn't shock anyone as the unnamed programs matta is referencing. pretty sure matta could dish endlessly on arizona, louisville, and kentucky recruiting.
