Haase leads UNCG Men’s Basketball

Jerod Haase, named the new men’s basketball coach in March, comes to UNCG with over 25 years of coaching experience, including head coach stints at Stanford and The University of Alabama at Birmingham and coaching staff stints with the UNC Tar Heels and Kansas Jayhawks.

He takes over the position held by Mike Jones, who’d served five years.

Haase’s coaching resumé runs deep, including being part of two National Championships with the Tar Heels. He also, overall, has been part of five Final Four appearances, 12 NCAA Tournament berths, three conference tournament titles, and eight regular season championships.

As a player at Kansas, he had been a First-Team Academic All-American and the Jayhawks’ Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

“Jerod brings a wealth of Division I coaching experience across multiple conferences,” Brian Mackin, director of athletics, said, noting that Haase has demonstrated a meaningful commitment to integrity, academic success, and player development, and also knows the importance of cultivating a strong fundraising network and engaging with UNCG supporters.
