Grabowski promoted, Horner takes over operations role

[UND Fan]

As expected, Steve Grabowski has been promoted. Jeff Horner will replace him as Director of BB Operations. Horner was coaching HS in Des Moines. That, combined with the resume below, should sure assist in our recruiting efforts in IA!

Horner was a four-year starter for the Hawkeyes and capped his career by being named the Big Ten Tournament Most Outstanding Player in 2006 when Iowa defeated Ohio State in the title game. He ended his run in Iowa City as the program’s all-time leader in assists (612) and 3-pointers made (262). Horner’s 1,506 career points are just outside the program’s Top 10 list.

He prepped at Mason City High School for his father, Bob, and was named Iowa’s Mr. Basketball in 2006.

UND has gotten great talent out of Iowa over the years - the guy's a winner and winners bring a winner's mentality - looking good.

UND’s biggest bang for its buck might be Brian Jones. He is the Big Sky’s lowest-paid men’s basketball coach with a base salary of $86,384. He’s also the only men’s basketball coach in the league not making six figures.

Jones’ team finished third in the Big Sky Conference in 2012-13 and qualified for the CollegeInsider.com Tournament for the third straight year. UND was knocked out of the Big Sky playoffs 76-74 by Weber State, a 30-win team this season that finished runner-up in the CIT. If asst. coaches at the bottom will be hard to keep the good ones.
