• How about we see that NKU men’s basketball, as Coach Darrin Horn always says, proves that all that matters are those “three games in March” when it’s Horizon Tournament time in Indianapolis. Great way for grad student Trey Robinson to finish up his career here and Sam Vinson to complete his comeback season by earning another spot in the NCAA Tournament.

3. YSU men’s and women’s basketball each get new coaches

The Youngstown State men’s and women’s basketball teams each saw new leadership take hold in 2024.

After seven seasons in Youngstown, men’s coach Jerrod Calhoun departed YSU to take the head coaching job at Utah State. Calhoun led the Penguins to back-to-back 20-win seasons for the first time in the program’s Division I history. Calhoun’s former assistant coach Ethan Faulkner was then elevated to become the program’s 14th head coach in program history.

Women’s basketball coach John Barnes elected to take a leave of absence prior to the start of the 2023-2024 season to attend to a personal family matter. He then stepped down as head coach after 10 years in Youngstown in January. John Nicolais served as acting and interim head coach in Barnes’ absence throughout the season.

After the end of the season, Melissa Jackson was then hired as the program’s ninth head coach in March.
