New coach wants OSU women to compete with elite (The Associated Press)
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Kevin McGuff stepped onto center court of Ohio State’s arena and called it an amazing day. The 43-year-old McGuff made his first official appearance as the new coach of the Buckeyes on Wednesday. After spending nine years as the head coach at Xavier and the past two at Washington, he said it was good to be back home and to take over a job that he had always wanted. Ohio State is paying McGuff $850,000 a year, not counting performance and academic bonuses, along with $500,000 in retention payments if he remains on the job through the 2020-21 season. McGuff, a father of six including a newborn, is on the hook for a $1.75 million buyout at Washington, where he signed a contract extension just three weeks ago.

OSU’s Washington follows Simon’s lead
Adolphus Washington is a huge part of Ohio State’s future on defense, but he hasn’t forgotten the Buckeyes’ recent past. Asked to identify his top goal during spring practice, Washington made sure to give a nod to the man who showed him the way in 2012. “To fill the shoes of John Simon,” Washington told ESPN.com. “I know those are some big shoes to fill. I’m just working my hardest to try and do that.” Many would say Washington, a 6-foot-3, 292-pound defensive end, boasts more natural ability than Simon, the 2012 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year.
