Utah State announced Ben Jacobson as the 23rd head coach in men’s basketball history on Monday and introduced him Tuesday morning. The openly stated goal and hope for his tenure is to take the Aggies to at least the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament, something that has eluded the program in the entire life of the 64-plus team era of the Big Dance. With each coaching change USU’s fanbase has endured — four such transitions since 2021 — comes the uncertainty surrounding what kind of basketball the new head of the program will bring. Jerrod Calhoun brought a fairly unique matchup zone defense and a transition-heavy style on offense. Ryan Odom led the Aggies to record-breaking 3-point shooting numbers.
