Re: UNI's Jacobson named Missouri Valley coach of the year
From the Courier a few days ago:
ST. LOUIS --- When his team scuffled through November and December, Ben Jacobson never flinched or wavered.
The University of Northern Iowa basketball coach realized he had his detractors --- those who believed the program was in decline and couldn't return to the glory days of Greg McDermott.
"I knew it was out there," Jacobson said. "I'm not blind, but I can sit here and tell you confidently it didn't bother me one ounce. I know I can coach, and we've got good players."
At 6-6, even his assistant coaches were "banging their heads against the wall" in staff meetings to come up with a plan to get things turned around.
"He just kept saying, 'We'll be fine,'" assistant P.J. Hogan said. "He saw the big picture. He didn't change. He stayed the course and continued to do what he believed was the right thing to do."
After a double-overtime home loss to an Indiana State team that was 2-9 on Dec. 28, many outside the Panther locker room had UNI pegged for the play-in round of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament.
Instead, the Panthers reeled off a school-record 11 straight wins and eventually earned a share of their first regular-season championship in their 18 years with the Valley.
Thursday, the 38-year-old Jacobson, whose 56 wins are the most for a UNI coach in his first three seasons, was the first UNI coach since Eldon Miller in 1997 to be named the conference's coach of the year.
"He knew from the beginning what this team was capable of," UNI director of athletics Troy Dannen said. "He didn't stop when things weren't going well. He made sure they knew what they were capable of, and he got out of them what they were capable of."TH1974: This guy was all-UNI, and wanted to show it by pretending to play a non-existant musical instrument in public.Comment

Well-deserved honor. This team improved all year long; that is what a well-coached team does.
