Former Michigan and Ohio State basketball player Andrew Dakich has landed a job on Ryan Pedon’s staff at Illinois State. Jeff Goodman of Stadium reported the news this week.

Dakich has spent the last two seasons working at Elon as the director of basketball operations. He spent three seasons on Chris Holtmann’s staff at Ohio State as a graduate assistant.

Pedon was an assistant coach at Ohio State and was named the next head coach at Illinois State following the regular season. Pedon completed the year with the Buckeyes through the NCAA Tournament before taking over.

Dakich spent the first three years of his college basketball career at Michigan before transferring to Ohio State. He was with the Buckeyes first two years but had to sit out his first because of NCAA transfer rules.

At Michigan (2013-16), Dakich played in 49 career games. At Ohio state (2017-18), Dakich played in 34 games and made 1 start. He scored 101 points, dished out 72 assists, grabbed 62 rebounds and had 32 steals in his lone season with the Buckeyes.
