Man, I like this guy !! So transparent….so humble….so real !!

[@jackbrunk3907]

God bless you Jake and O-H!!!!!

[@Chiggalonkers]

Badger fan here, I like this guy. I love his honesty and i'm excited to see how the Buckeyes close this season out.

[@terrythompson1980]

The team just looked dead under Holtmann, no confidence? Wish I had the answers!. Jake deserves a lot of respect for getting these players to play, play confident.

[@samiannarino7138]

CONGRADULATIONS COACH. GOOD LUCK IN THE FUTURE!! GREAT JOB.

[@ghill2393]

Best they've looked all year. Crazy.

[@terrythompson1980]

All year is correct, against the best team in the BIG!!. That’s a really good Purdue team, I honestly thought they would lose that game possibly at a close score, would have never thought they would beat them at the end!!!. Jake deserves a lot of credit for this win, if Chris is still coaching this team I believe they lose it badly!!!.

[@nathaniellathy6559]

Yay. Great job Jay. Keep winning

[@nathaniellathy6559]

I like this guy. He deserves to coach somewhere in the future. St. Louis could use him. So could DePaul. Would be a good assistant for Ohio State in next staff if he's not promoted

[@stevemoening2205]

Good Job GO BUCKS

[@curtishatem6739]

Coach's demeanor reminds me of coach Hafley. Go Bucks!

[@ohmymym3231]

Great W for Ohio State! Purdue Edey is the best player in CBB

[@terrythompson1980]

I don’t buy what Matt said about Chris coaching vs Jake in beating Purdue!. Jake got these players playing at a much higher level, Chris for whatever reason wasn’t able to get that out of the players? This team is different than what they were playing, Jake should get some respect for that!!. You can tell he poured everything that he had in coaching this team, he was into this game as everyone could see. Go Bucks

[@domenicac.giampaolo9277]

Great game but im going to wait and see...its just one game guys. But again, a great win to beat the #2 team.

[@jaydoll487]

Wow im proud of all the dieblers but wow i remember playing basketball just running a full court street game at the ymca years ago and this younger dude comes in and plays and was playing way better then most of us and i remember getting mad like what is goin on here it was this guy right here lol him and his brother his dad did an amazing job with they are super intelligent and super athletic

[@RM-th8ol]

DIEBS!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@markgriffin5889]

Go Bucks! Welcome back....

[@Bobbyo60]

I was reading the tweets on the game page and a Purdue writer called TOSU team a”big ten bottom feeder”. A bit of sour grapes? Well, that doesn’t speak well for your team, do it???

[@Butler_Buck]

Based on the standings for the past two years, OSU is a bottom feeder. Good win the guys.

[@paulsoxl7739]

Michigan is the bottom feeder this season

[@bradfrerichs9159]

Good 🎉

[@sageohio1864]

Always play like you’re 2 down with 10 seconds left

[@Dyals_Style]

Hire this man

[@Arkbuck]

I don’t get this. It’s the biggest surprise in years in any sport. Wtf. There’s always uptick when a coach gets fired but to beat the #2 team is wild. Although I doubt Purdue against the top talents

[@robertdavis7312]

you do not have to be a rocket scientist to figure out, "you cannot make chicken salad without chicken" OSU lacks in recruiting + they have had some players go 1 and done hurts the class and that really hurts. Regardless players make plays and OSU lacks big time players

[@rafscoe]

Facts!!!!!!!!

[@evanlegg7794]

even though we won, i have to agree with this

[@evanlegg7794]

it was a good team win tho

[@OSUBucks08]

Are you actually familiar with the classes they bring in? One of the most talented teams on paper in the B1G. How is that lacking?

[@robertdavis7312]

being talented on paper is one thing but being able to perform is another a huge part of being deveolped is character and the willingness to be coached@@OSUBucks08

[@yahyatahboub1038]

Congratulations you deserve it I hope you will build on. Purdue needs to lose a game to prove they are human

[@carlnicolocbena]

jake deibler sign contract

[@pb12661]

Hire Diebler.

[@kevinchavis2755]

I think we need the best coach possible, go for the best, proven, biggest name(s) 1st and then if OSU doesn’t succeed with that go ahead and hire this man. OSU has to swing big to have the best chance at returning to prominence with recruiting, game planing, and development

[@jeffbeck9028]

@@kevinchavis2755if we win out, and win 2+ games in the big ten tourney and win a game in march madness, he needs to be hired

[@Blairpark]

So it was God that made us win? Please, don't go there.

[@hermanblume275]

God bless Coach Holt.
