Oakland joined the Bison staff in 2017 after serving as the head women's basketball coach at Coe College in Cedar Rapids for the 2015-17 seasons. "Kelly did a great job in stabilizing the program, and he deserves a great deal of credit for that work." "I would like to extend my most sincere thank you to Kelly Kielsmeier for his excellent work as the Interim Head Coach during the last six weeks of the season," Hartzell stated.
The Peacock women's basketball team finished the 2018-19 season with a 3-28 mark and a second straight conference mark of 0-22. Our vision from day one will be to compete with the great teams in the Northern Sun Conference, arguably one of the toughest NCAA Division II conferences in the country." "I am equally excited to return to the head coach position and for the challenge that lies ahead as we turn this women's basketball program around. "I am ecstatic to be at Upper Iowa and returning home to northeast Iowa," said Oakland. The Cedar Falls native comes to Upper Iowa from Fargo, N.D., where he served as an assistant coach with the women's basketball program at North Dakota State University, a NCAA Division I member of the Summit League, for the last two years. Nate's ties to Iowa and coaching acumen will lead us on that path to success." We are looking forward to having a championship women's basketball program, in every phase of the program, from academics to the quality of play and growth of all the team members very, very soon. I will do everything I can to help him be successful here. I am extraordinarily confident that he is the person to fix this program. "We had a huge pool of quality candidates for this head women's basketball coaching position, and after an extensive process, Nate rose to the top of the pool. "I am thrilled to be able to bring Nate Oakland into the Upper Iowa University family," said Hartzell. Oakland will be the 14th head coach in the 44-year history of the Peacock women's basketball. Upper Iowa University Director of Athletics Rick Hartzell announced Nate Oakland as the new head coach of the Peacock women's basketball program on Tuesday. One of the most important things for us as coaches with this team is figuring out, helping our guys, and getting them in position to be successful.By: Howie Thompson, Assistant AD for Sports Communication Story Links Some of that might be some things we did last year, some of it might be some things we did two years ago, some of it might be things that are brand new to what we've been doing. We've got to figure out what's best for this team. Offensively, it's going to be a work in progress. 'Started covering up for each other a little bit. 'It seemed like the two practices before that and then the first half against Coe, we started to see some of the progress at the defensive end, where more guys were on the same page,' Jacobson said. Freshman forward Tanner Lohaus is red-shirting, as expected. Jacobson said the thought was there to red-shirt swingman Brown, but he has played well enough to where the coaching staff believes he'll help at some point this season. Freshman Isaiah Brown and red-shirt freshmen big men Luke McDonnell and Justin Dahl will see sporadic minutes.
What we do know about UNI is Jacobson has a nine-man rotation planned: Jeremy Morgan, Klint Carlson, Bennett Koch, Juwan McCloud and Wyatt Lohaus as starters, and Ted Friedman, Spencer Haldeman, Hunter Rhodes and Jordan Ashton off the bench. We want to be on the floor against teams that are at this level.' Arizona State is very good, there are other teams in the field that are very good. The other thing I would say is that's the way it's supposed to be.
'Being this early, we're going to find out a lot about our guys and where we're at. 'In the scrimmage against Wisconsin, we learned a lot about our team and where we're at, some of the things we have to do better. Between that, we got to see our team play against a team like we're going to see in these three games,' UNI Coach Ben Jacobson said. 'You saw us play Bemidji, you saw us play Coe.
