Matta, who arrived in Columbus, Ohio, before the 2004-05 season, led the Buckeyes to five Big Ten regular-season titles and four Big Ten tourney crowns, all while amassing a 337-123 record.

The Hoopeston, Illinois, native had his best season in 2006-07, when, behind the heralded recruiting class of Greg Oden, Mike Conley and Daequan Cook, Matta led Ohio State to the national final; he also coached the Buckeyes to the 2012 Final Four.
