Jack Owens named Miami RedHawks head men’s basketball coach

The Miami RedHawks have a new head coach, and he’ll be arriving to Oxford from West Lafayette, Indiana.

Jack Owen, the associate head coach at Purdue, will be formally named the 27th head coach in Miami basketball history on March 30.

Owen has been at Purdue since 2008, and has been an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at three prior stops since 2000.

“I’m extremely excited about becoming the head men’s basketball coach at Miami University,” Owens said in a press release. “I would like to thank President Greg Crawford and Athletic Director David Sayler for this opportunity and I look forward to not only rebuilding this championship program, but also making this program one that all Miami alumni can be proud of.
