Jon Keith Diebler (born June 22, 1988) is an American former professional basketball player who is the director of recruiting for the Butler Bulldogs of the Big East Conference. He played four seasons of college basketball for the Ohio State Buckeyes.

High school career

[edit]

Diebler played his freshman season along with his older brother Jake at Fostoria High School for his father, head coach Keith Diebler. The family left when Keith accepted the head coaching position at Upper Sandusky High School, which Jon attended for his remaining three seasons.[1]

In Jon's sophomore year, the Upper Sandusky Rams won the state championship, coached by his father. He scored 77 points in a 105–100 win over Tiffin Columbian as a junior. As a senior, he averaged 41.2 points, 12.3 rebounds, and six assists per game. Diebler ended his high school career with 3,208 points, more than Ohio high school greats Luke Kennard (2,977), Jay Burson (2,958), LeBron James (2,646), Bob Huggins (2,438), Jerry Lucas (2,438), Jamar Butler (2,412) and Jim Jackson (2,328).[1]

He won Ohio's Mr. Basketball his senior year and despite having his nose broken in three places on a layup attempt in the final quarter of the Division II regional championship game, he helped the team reach the state finals game and scored 48 points in a two-point loss to Dayton Dunbar. It was the third-highest scoring effort ever in an OHSAA state championship game.

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Diebler was listed as the No. 14 shooting guard and the No. 60 player in the nation in 2007.[2]

On March 1, 2011, he made 10 3-pointers in a row while finishing 10 for 12, breaking the Ohio State record for most 3-pointers in a game. On March 6, 2011, during Ohio State's senior day, Diebler made 7 3-pointers, finishing with 27 points against Wisconsin.[4]
