Celebrating:

Tony Jasick has been named the men’s basketball coach at IPFW. Jasick has been a member of the IPFW coaching staff for the past six seasons, the previous four as associate head coach. 

The Whitehall, Mich., native has played a major role in the IPFW basketball program’s development that included an 18 win season in 2010-2011. Eight players have earned Summit League Player of the Week honors and 19 have garnered All-Summit League Academic honors during his time with the program.
