Jan Jensen is ready to lead a seamless transition for the Iowa women’s basketball program. After spending the last 24-years as an assistant with the Hawkeyes, Jensen was named head coach after long-time coach Lisa Bluder announced her retirement on Monday.

While it is a change in title it does not change what she does.

The losses from this past season’s team are substantial but Jensen says the expectations for the program are always high.

In the age of the transfer portal Jensen’s first win as head coach was on Monday when she was able to preserve the current roster as well as the incoming recruiting class.

Jensen says Bluder has agreed to remain involved with the program as an advisor.
