Iowa has hired Drake's Ben McCollum as its next men's basketball coach. The Iowa City native replaces Fran McCaffery, who was dismissed earlier this month after 15 seasons. McCollum just finished his first season at Drake, leading the Bulldogs to a 31-4 record and the program's first appearance in the NCAA tournament's round of 32 in 54 years. He won Missouri Valley Coach of the Year honors and was named a semifinalist for the Naismith Coach of the Year award. Prior to coaching at Drake, McCollum was one of the most successful coaches in Division II. He led Northwest Missouri State to four Division II national championships and a 394-91 record during his 15 seasons at the helm.
