Thad Matta
He is the head coach of the Ohio State Men's Basketball team which reached the Final Four in 2007
Matta's most notable achievements came during his tenure as head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes from 2004 to 2017. Under his leadership, the Buckeyes won five Big Ten Conference regular season championships and four Big Ten tournament titles. His teams were consistently competitive, making two Final Four appearances in 2007 and 2012. In addition to his success in the NCAA Tournament, Matta also led Ohio State to the 2008 NIT Championship, further solidifying his legacy as one of the top coaches in the sport.
One of the hallmarks of Matta's coaching career has been his ability to recruit and develop top-tier talent. During his time at Ohio State, he coached several players who went on to have successful careers in the NBA, including Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr., and Evan Turner. Matta's teams were known for their disciplined play, strong defense, and ability to execute in high-pressure situations. His success at Ohio State made him the winningest coach in the program's history, a testament to his consistency and excellence over the years.
After stepping away from coaching for a few years, Matta returned to Butler University in 2022 for his second stint as head coach of the Bulldogs. His return to Butler has been met with high expectations, as fans and analysts alike anticipate that Matta will bring the same level of success to the program that he achieved at Ohio State. With his wealth of experience and proven track record, Matta remains one of the most respected and accomplished coaches in college basketball.
