This is correct. I can't remember the name of the guy that runs/owns the gym there. I think he's a big time contractor and has his own gym that he holds camps at. My niece attended one of them over the summer. Pretty hardcore camp for her being a freshmen in high school. Sullivan is one of the coaches.
Two different places Jakes All Iowa Attack is located next to Wilson's Toyota and behind the Lions Club on South Duff. Dixson Jensen's gym is located just South of the North-South runway of the Ames Airport. Jake is/was involved with both and started out with Jensen. Jenson was/is one of the coaches for All Iowa Attack.

Hard also to say that Jake was a better shooter than Hoiberg. Willoughby was something special too, I think it took Jake all four years to break what Willoughby did in 2.

I will try and find a pic of his wife. I don't know if the register keeps wedding announcement pics, but I remember it being in there.

Oh, and I am searching google images for pics of him and this came up....

Jake Sullivan
Director of All Iowa Attack Basketball Jake Sullivan serves as director of All Iowa Attack Basketball after four years as an All-Big 12 basketball player at Iowa State University. Sullivan holds the all-time record for three pointers made (270) and free throw accuracy (89.6%) in Iowa State Basketball history. Jake Sullivan also is 7th on the all-time scoring list with 1,810 points in his 4-year career. Besides the accomplishments on the court, Sullivan received All-Big 12 academic honors his last 3 years of participation.

Jake Sullivan was hired to help create and direct the All Iowa Attack Basketball program upon his completion of eligibility at Iowa State University. Coach Sullivan believes this is the greatest blessing of his life to have the opportunity to impact young lives through the game of basketball.

“I can not imagine my life to take any better turn. To remain in the game I love, and work with kids who have dreams of playing basketball and being leaders, I could not ask for anything more. I am excited to see the growth of this program and the impact it will have on young lives during the years to come.”

His wonderful wife Janel and their new son JJ also accompanies Sullivan.

Nice. Still can't find a pic.

I remember seeing him shooting at the rec one time and she was shagging the ball for him. I got there, saw him shooting, went upstairs to lift, saw him still shooting, played a half a dozen pickup games on the next court over, as he continued shooting, and left 3 hours after I got there ... and he was still shooting.

Any gal that can shag balls for you for over 3 hours is a keeper - and yes, she was hot too.

I remember reading an article some time ago about Jake Sullivan having OCD. He would wash finish a test, then go back through and change a couple of answers to make them wrong so that it didn't look like he cheated, despite him actually not cheating at all, but rather putting in huge amounts of study time. He also would shoot until all hours of the night, trying to perfect his shot, which may explain this three-hour shooting session with his wife.

I thought I read where the OCD had something to do with him picking up litter (white paper) anywhere he could find it.

Correct. Dickson has a huge shed with a full size basketball court with big iowa state logo at center court and then a much smaller court made out of the old floor they took out of ballard high school 5 or so years ago. There is also a decent sized weightlifting area that is better than some high schools. It would be a phenemonal facility to grow up with and ballard has 2 Jensen's right now in high school (1 boy and 1 girl) that are both very good shooters.

I actually played some pick up games there a few years ago with one of Dickson's nephews and Ryan Baum.

Some of these other guys in this thread may have been better "one-on-one, make your own shot shooters" but I really can't see myself taking anyone other than Sullivan if it was a "kick it out" wide open look at a three. The guy was nuts from out there. IMO his % suffered from having to do more "shake and bake" to get his own shots than he would have liked to. That wasn't his game.

That just shows the picture - I was going for more along the lines of if there was any article still associated with that or how she found it via google (I hadn't found that googling but I didn't try very hard either)

Meet Your Cyclone Superfans - FYI

If you google image search for "Jake Sullivan Iowa State daily"

Although I may be giving some posters' anonymity. With the way they dress, I'm hoping they're probably not to concerned about that.
