Ranking the all-time winningest head coaches in Ohio State basketball history by number of wins

The Ohio State basketball program may not be known as a blue blood on the hardcourt like it is on the gridiron, but it’s still got a history many programs would be jealous of. In fact, OSU is among the leaders in Final Four appearances and Big Ten championships.

To reach those ends, the Buckeye program has had to be led by some pretty talented coaches throughout history. Whether it be Fred Taylor, Thad Matta, or the current guy pulling the strings, Chris Holtmann, there’s been some pretty good coaches putting together some pretty memorable seasons on the banks of the Olentangy.

But when you put the list of head coaches together at Ohio State, who leads in all-time wins and winning percentage? We know you have a pretty good idea of the top two, but what other coaches are up there, and how does a place known more for slinging the pigskin around line up?
