Nick Kellogg, an Ohio University product who spent the past 2 seasons as video coordinator with the Milwaukee Bucks, is joining the Ohio State men’s basketball staff.
Kellogg, who is the son of Buckeye great Clark Kellogg, will be the assistant to the head coach/director of scouting, The Columbus Dispatch reported. The report suggested that Kellogg’s role is a new one but will likely assume some of the responsibilities formerly held by Mike Netti, who after 5 years as special assistant to the head coach was promoted to full-time assistant coach this offseason.
The Kellogg-Holtmann relationship dates back to Kellog signing with the Bobcats as a member of the class of 2010 when Holtmann recruited him as an Ohio University assistant.
In 4 years with the Bobcats, Kellogg averaged 10.1 points and made 290 3-pointers, a Mid-American Conference record. He helped Ohio reach the Sweet 16 as a sophomore and averaged a career-high 15.5 points per game as a senior before he played professionally overseas.
Kellogg is the second addition to Ohio State’s staff this offseason alongside assistant coach Jack Owens, who was hired after he spent the last 5 seasons as the head coach at Miami (Ohio).
