Former UND assistant coach Adam Jacobson explains resignation on social media

GRAND FORKS — UND women's basketball assistant coach Adam Jacobson resigned from the program earlier this week. Jacobson shared his explanation Thursday evening on X, formerly known as Twitter, under the heading "It's about being home." pic.twitter.com/mEiGPm5ktk — Adam Jacobson (@CoachJake_UND) November 13, 2026 Jacobson described his family as the driving force behind the decision. "Nineteen years, 19 seasons, 19 winters... every fall for the last 19 years it's been about the new team and new season," Jacobson said in the post. "But what people don't realize is it was also about preparing to say goodbye to your family for your "other family," your basketball family, and your real family better understand! That was all good in my first nine years, but as the years have gone on, the last 10 years, it has gotten progressively harder to say that goodbye, which for me is now goodbye to my seven, six, four and one-year-old." Jacobson was hired in April of this year.
