Northern Iowa men’s basketball coach Ben Jacobson has received a two-year extension to the 10-year deal he signed in 2015, the school announced Thursday.
Jacobson's deal now runs through March 31, 2027.
"Jake is one of the premier coaches in the Missouri Valley Conference and one of the best coaches in the country," UNI athletic director David Harris said in a school release. "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.
