Jacobson Signs Contract Extension Through 2029

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – UNI head men's basketball coach Ben Jacobson has signed a contract extension that locks up the four-time Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year through the end of the 2028-29 season.

Jacobson is the winningest coach in UNI history with 301 victories and a .605 winning percentage. Under his guidance, the Panthers have earned three regular-season MVC titles, including the 2019-2020 season and four Arch Madness championships.

UNI has made four trips to the NCAA tournament and qualified for post-season play eight times in Jacobson's tenure, including the legendary 2010 second-round win over Kansas and a sweet-16 run.
