After completing high school, Matta attended Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, where he played baseball, basketball, and football. He played for the Salukis baseball team, where he was primarily a catcher but also pitched occasionally. Matta played alongside future Major League Baseball players such as Cris Carpenter and Dan Rohrmeier. Matta's baseball career at Southern Illinois was cut short when he suffered a back injury that prevented him from further playing college baseball.

After his baseball career ended, Matta focused on basketball, which marked a turning point in his life. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant for the Miami University in 1991-92. He then served as an assistant coach at Butler, Xavier, and Miami of Ohio before becoming the head coach of the Butler team in 2000. Matta's coaching career flourished, and he went on to coach Ohio State University for 13 seasons, where he led the Buckeyes to numerous victories, including the Final Four in 2007 and 2012. Despite his success in basketball, Matta remains a passionate baseball fan, and his love for the game remains a vital part of his life. Read even more about Thad Matta at Wikipedia
