We all knew this was a possibility. Jack Owens has been with Purdue for nine seasons holding the title of associate head coach for the last six. That’s a long time to be the #1 assistant on a B1G team. Word is that Owens had turned down jobs in years past because he wanted to wait for his daughter to finish high school before uprooting the family. I commend him for that.
During Owens nine year run at Purdue the team averaged just over 23 wins per year and went to three Sweet 16s. Owens was also a top notch recruiter who had his hands in all aspects.
