Overview
- UNI announced Kyle Green as its new men's basketball coach, replacing Ben Jacobson after Jacobson accepted the Utah State job.
- Green arrives from Iowa State, where he served as an assistant since 2021 and helped guide a defense that ranked among the nation's best in efficiency.
- He previously spent nearly two decades on UNI's staff across three stints as an assistant and associate head coach.
- A KCCI report said UNI interviewed Green, current UNI assistant Seth Tuttle, and Nebraska assistant Nate Loenser as it moved to fill the role on an expedited timeline.
- Jacobson departs as UNI's winningest coach with a 397-259 record and five NCAA Tournament berths, and KCCI noted Utah State offers greater resources with a pending Pac-12 move.
