Adam Jacobsen wasn’t about to leave the University of Pacific for any ordinary job. Perhaps that makes the University of Hawai’i extraordinary.
After 19 seasons at UOP (five as a player; 14 as an assistant/associate coach), Jacobsen left Stockton, Calif., to become an assistant coach under new Hawai’i head coach Eran Ganot. Jacobsen has been on the job for less than a month, but he already realizes it was an opportunity he could not refuse.
“I wouldn’t have left Pacific for just any place, but I wanted to leave for a special place with someone that I knew very well and trusted in,” Jacobsen said.
