Greg Oden, Jon Diebler join Mike Pegues on Thad Matta's Butler coaching staff, per report

Former Ohio State Buckeyes basketball players Greg Oden and Jon Diebler are joining former Xavier Musketeers head coach Thad Matta's coaching staff at Butler, according to a report Tuesday from IndyStar.com's David Woods.

Last week, former Xavier Musketeers assistant coach Mike Pegues, Louisville's interim head coach this past season and a Cardinals' assistant since 2018, joined Matta's staff at Butler. Pegues was an assistant with the Muskies under Chris Mack from 2012 until he left with then-head coach Mack for UofL in 2018.

Matta was at XU from 2001 to 2004. Earlier this month, he replaced LaVall Jordan as the Bulldogs' head coach.

Matta, 54, was a Miami University assistant in 1994-95 and again in 1996-97. He was the Ohio State Buckeyes' head coach from 2004 until 2017.
