Jerod Haase

Jerod Albert Haase (born April 1, 1974) is an American college basketball coach and the head men's basketball coach of UNC Greensboro . He was the head coach for Stanford Cardinal men's team of the Pac-12 Conference from 2016 to 2024. Haase played college basketball at the University of California, Berkeley from 1992 to 1993, and then transferred to the University of Kansas to play under Roy Williams from 1994 to 1997. Haase was a Naismith and Wooden Award candidate while at Kansas. At Kansas, he only missed two games out of 101 and averaged 12.5 points per game, scoring 1,246 points over the span of his career. He was a member of the Big Eight all defensive team as a junior, and played at the World University Games in 1995. He then spent 13 years as an assistant under Williams at both Kansas and North Carolina before starting his own head coaching career.

Early life Born and raised in South Lake Tahoe, California, Haase is one of five siblings, all of whom have played an intercollegiate sport. Haase played high school basketball with long time NBA executive Chris Grant, former general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers, at South Tahoe High School. Haase and his South Tahoe High School team faced off against their larger rival Western High for the state title in consecutive years, with South Tahoe winning in Haase's senior year in one of the most notable contests in state basketball history. When his short career in Macedonia ended he decided to self-publish his book Floor Burns and revisit towns around Kansas giving instructional basketball camps. Haase visited around 40 towns and conducted over 100 basketball camps. The Junior Varsity team plays a 14-game schedule against local competition as well as outside programs wanting to give their kids a chance to play in the Dean Smith Center. Haase had to pick 14 students out of a 70-student try-out camp to complete the junior varsity squad.

Haase managed to get UAB back to the big dance in his third year in Birmingham. The Blazers, a 14 seed, upset third-seeded Iowa State in the 2015 NCAA tournament before losing to UCLA in the round of 32.

His final season saw the Blazers win a conference title, but a loss in the conference tournament relegated them to the NIT.

Stanford On March 25, 2016, Haase was named head coach at Stanford University, replacing Johnny Dawkins. In the 2017–18 season, Haase's second as head coach, he led Stanford to 11 conference wins, the most by the Cardinal since 2008.

Haase was fired on March 14, 2024, after eight seasons, zero NCAA tournament appearances, and a 126–127 record.

UNC Greensboro On March 18, 2026, Haase was named head coach at the University of North Carolina Greensboro, replacing Mike Jones.
