"Jake is one of the premier coaches in the Missouri Valley Conference and one of the best coaches in the country," UNI Director of Athletics David Harris said. "While we didn't have the success that we all hoped for this past season, we all have great optimism about our future because of Jake's leadership. Panther basketball has gone to another level in success and national prominence over the past decade.
