Holy ****....

Wow...

I'm completely floored by this, although based on what I read on this very board yesterday I knew there was a chance.

Man...end of an era in Cedar Falls...

As a dual fan I am going to need some time to let this really sink in.

Kind of surprising this is the spot after all those years, but I imagine the resources at Utah State are significantly larger, and seems to be one of the better stepping stone mid major jobs there is.

Wow did not see that coming

Yeah Utah State is a good mid major program. Go look at the recent success. They have made the tournament 6 straight years

Do we lose another assistant in Kyle Green, or will they look for a bigger splash

Utah State is probably the best job in the new PAC other than Gonzaga. Jake with real resources is going to absolutely kill it.

The list at UNI is pretty short. Seth Tuttle, Kyle Green, Brooks McKowen and, maybe, Craig Smith.

Logan, Utah is a pretty place to live. Just a bit different than Cedar Falls.

Craig Smith would be an amazing hire but seems like it’s going to be Tuttle

Good for him! There is something to be said for someone chasing a dream no matter what age they are.

The money is going to push hard that way so I agree.

He'll do great. I have zero concerns about him in the big chair.

Erik Crawford is on our staff, he came from UNI, may need to worry about him leaving to be an assistant

Can we pouch Zavier Zens? Top 5 player out of Wisconsin for 2026 shooting 51% from 3.

Get ready to say goodbye to Kyle Green.

Get ready to say goodbye to Kyle Green.

Eh, I dunno about that.

Get ready to say goodbye to Kyle Green.

It will be Tuttle.

Gotta imagine the only reason Ben is leaving is the lack of resources right?

That and may just be looking for a change as well. Long time in one spot, especially in coaching world.

He’s had a ton of opportunities to leave, NIL has forced him to make the jump. Either ride it out at UNI and try to patch in a roster every year or got to a school where you can be more of a hunter.
