After five years at Ohio State, assistant coach Ryan Pedon has been named head coach at Illinois State.
"It’s a great feeling," Pedon said."It’s always been a dream of mine to be a head coach. It’s sort of the final piece to the puzzle that I haven’t experienced. I feel like I’ve stepped on every rung of the ladder in this profession, and that’s the final one I hadn’t stepped to.
Pedon said he was approached by a search firm last week, had a Zoom interview Saturday and met with Illinois State athletic director Kyle Brennen and deputy director of athletics Mark Muhlhauser on Wednesday after they took in Tuesday night's Ohio State loss to Nebraska."From afar, I’ve always thought that this was a great job," Pedon said."The more I dug on it, I realized it’s a great campus, it’s a tremendous community, it has a great location.
While at Ohio State, Pedon has primarily overseen the team’s offense and served as a primary recruiter, particularly within Ohio. The Buckeyes have been a top-25 national team in adjusted offensive efficiency according to KenPom.com in four of the five seasons of the Holtmann era and are currently No. 11 this year. Pedon was the lead recruiter for first-team all-Big Ten junior forward E.J. Liddell, freshman of the year candidate Malaki Branham and current NBA player Duane Washington Jr.
