Now in his third season with the Jackrabbits, Otzelberger has posted a 55-28 record, including a 10-4 mark so far this season.

Otzelberger’s squads won Summit League postseason tournament titles each of his first two seasons, adding the program’s first-ever outright Summit League regular season title during the 2017-18 campaign with a 13-1 record as he was named Summit League Coach of the Year.

The 2017-18 team finished with a school-record 28 wins against seven losses, earning the No. 12 seed in the West Region at the NCAA Tournament.
