FULL SHOW: Dan Jansen on replacing Derek Robey, plus thoughts on the Bergen Reilly Bash with Huskers in Sioux Falls

from Happy Hour with John Gaskins · host John Gaskins

Replacing a coaching legend is never easy, both for the program making the hire and for the new coach.   O'Gorman High School is replacing its boys basketball coaching legend with one of the playing legends from a college just over a mile up the road in Sioux Falls.   Dan Jansen — who spent this past season as Derek Robey's junior varsity coach — is  Augustana's all-time leading scorer and was the 2016 NCAA Div. II national player of the year, leading the Vikings to their only national championship that season.   The Orange City, Iowa, native replaces Robey, who retired after 21 seasons at the O'G helm, a run that included six state championships (2006, '07, '10, '11, '12, '17), three state runner-up finishes, and a 327-158 record.   So why did OGHS leadership decide the Knights already had their man on the bench after just one year at the school?   Happy Hour went to the Knights gym to get the answer from long-time activities director Steve Kueter — himself a nine-time state football champion head coach.   We also chatted with Jansen, an Advanced Placement history teacher at the school, about his journey since he hoisted the national title trophy with the Vikings in Frisco, Texas, a decade ago.   Jansen's journey took him from professional hoops in Belgium and Macedonia back to Sioux Falls. There, he began his coaching career as an assistant at Sioux Falls Roosevelt for three years before becoming a head coach at a Christian academy in South Carolina and then an assistant for a year at a private Catholic school in Iowa City.    Jansen discussed how his experiences growing up in Orange City, his years at Augie under Tom Billeter, and his other prep stops prepared him for one of South Dakota's most prestigious basketball jobs.   Before all that, the Happy Hour host weighs in on the hire and looks back on a monumental day for volleyball in South Dakota — O'Gorman alumnus Bergen Reilly's homecoming with the Huskers in Sioux Falls.
