Polk, who graduated from BGSU this summer, has signed to play with the Plymouth Raiders in England and Hill, who is a former NBA coach, has been hired as the Head Coach of the Tokyo Apache in the Basketball Japan League.
Polk completed his career at Bowling Green in 2009-10 as the school's career blocked shot leader and helped the Falcons to a Mid-American Conference regular season championship as a junior. He will play for the Plymouth Raiders of the British Basketball League under Head Coach Gavin Love.
“I'm happy for Otis,” Bowling Green Head Coach Louis Orr said. “This is a dream come true for him to be a professional basketball player. He's worked hard and he's a quality player and quality person. He has a bright future and his best years are still ahead of him.”
