Ben McCollum, born in Iowa City and renowned as the winningest coach in the past nine seasons, is named the new Iowa Hawkeyes men’s basketball head coach. The university confirmed the hire Monday, with athletics director Beth Goetz welcoming McCollum and his family back to Iowa City.
Iowa introduces Ben McCollum as the new Hawkeyes head coach. Born 1981 in Iowa City, he played at St Marys Storm Lake and Northwest Missouri State, earning a masters in athletic administration. Career marks include 426 95 in 16 seasons, four NCAA Division II titles, and multiple national coach of the year honors. He and wife Michelle, with sons Peyton Tate and Grace Ann, aim to energize Hawkeye fans as the program advances.
Iowa's season ends with a 96-62 loss to 11th-ranked Oklahoma at Lloyd Noble Center. OU dominates the boards 64-33, 24 offensive rebounds, ending Iowa’s run and sending the Sooners to Spokane region semifinal against Connecticut or South Dakota.
In Iowa City the Hawkeyes held their annual pro day with 14 former players, including Deon Craig and Quinn Schulte, drawing all 32 NFL teams. Schulte excelled in drills despite missing the combine, posting a 38 inch vertical and strong broad jump while sharing a high bench rep count with teammate Sebastian Castro.
