OSU athlete was gracious to fans
May 17, 2009

Have you ever been somewhere when people spot a celebrity or well-known person and then proceed to either stare at them or inundate them with requests for autographs or just ask questions in general?
Last Saturday evening my husband, Jim, and I were having dinner in one of the local restaurants. As soon as we sat down, I recognized Jon Diebler in the booth across from ours and quietly mentioned it to Jim. He appeared to be having dinner with his parents.
Shortly thereafter at least a half dozen folks stopped by asking for autographs. Diebler, in case you are not an Ohio State fan, played on the Buckeye basketball team - the slender one who was known for making three-pointers.
I was impressed with Jon as he quietly put down his fork and let his dinner get cold to fulfill their requests. As Jon and his table got up to leave, Jim and I wished him success in his junior year at Ohio State to which he replied a grateful "thank you" and a look that said "what, you're not asking for my autograph?"

good story :)

Diebler seems like a super nice guy, he's definitely one of my favorites, the progress he made as a player is just ridiculous compared to his Freshman year, he's obviously got room to improve but I expect him to do really good this season.

i hope he can add another element or wrinkle to his game in this off season. it's great he can nail the 3 point shot but i would like to see him drive it in the paint once in awhile.

he needs to do watever he did in HS to become the all time leading scorer in Ohio. If he can play like that i think we might have a pretty good season.

OSU's Diebler Shooting For The Stars...................

Diebler aims for impact
With Big Ten's career three-point mark in sight, senior responds to Matta's push for passing, steals

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

It came to light last week that Jon Diebler is within range of the Big Ten record for career three-point field goals.

The Ohio State senior is 55 shy of the official mark of 332 set by Pete Lisicky of Penn State (Louis Bullock of Michigan made 339, but the record was vacated because of NCAA sanctions).

It would seem to be a slam dunk for Diebler. He would have to make about two threes per game the rest of the season, depending how long it lasts, and he has averaged three the past two seasons.

"It's a cool little stat, I guess," he said. "But I'm not worried about it. If it's meant to happen, it'll happen."

Diebler had one of those games he sometimes does last week against Florida State: he attempted 10 threes and made only two. But his game was remarkable not for that, nor that he led the No.2-ranked Buckeyes in scoring with 12 points in a defensive struggle.

What stood out more were the steals he made on three consecutive possessions early in the second half as the Buckeyes built their lead to 17 points.

There has been more to Diebler's game this season than the 25-foot rainbows that will be his legacy at Ohio State. His seven steals in the past three games are one indication. His 14 assists and nearly 3-1 assist-to-turnover ratio, twice as good as last season, are another.
