ATHENS, Ohio (AP) - June 27, 2008
The 36-year-old Groce was introduced at a news conference
Friday. He had been the top assistant under Ohio State coach Thad
Matta for the past four years. He also worked under Matta at Xavier
University and at Butler University.
Ohio athletic director Jim Schaus said Groce is known for being
a top recruiter and for helping to build winning programs.
The Bobcats finished at 20-13 last season.
Groce replaces Tim O'Shea, who left this week to become head
coach at Bryant University in Rhode Island.
