“I want to thank Jack Owens for his tremendous effort and work ethic in leading Miami basketball,” Miami director of athletics David Sayler said in the press release. “We all have a great amount of respect for Jack, who he is, how he conducts himself and how he ran the program. Jack’s leadership throughout the pandemic was always centered on student-athlete well-being and he accomplished a lot in challenging times. We wish him well in his future endeavors.”
The RedHawks reached the College Basketball Invitational in Owens’ first season, but they finished with a winning record just once, going 12-11 overall and 9-8 in the MAC during the 2020-2021 season.
