Stubborn, quirky and driven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s three words that were used to describe the newly hired University of Iowa men\u2019s basketball coach Ben McCollum by former NIACC men\u2019s basketball coach Steve Krafcisin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First the stubborn.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA word that comes to mind is stubborn and it was a good thing for him,\u201d said Krafcisin, who coached McCollum at NIACC from 1999-2001. \u201cBen loved attacking the basket.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can close my eyes and remember telling him \u2018Ben, you can\u2019t go into the forest every time.\u2019 That\u2019s kind of what he had to do in high school. We definitely encouraged him to shoot the three. He was very determined.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krafcisin, who was the NIACC men\u2019s basketball coach from 1997-2005, recruited McCollum out of Storm Lake St. Mary\u2019s High School in 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen we recruited him, he was very talented and very skilled,\u201d Krafcisin recalled. \u201cHe had to do it all in high school. He had to rebound, dribble it up, shoot it, play defense. I just thought he was a multi-talented guy that could play the point (guard).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCollum was a two-time all-region performer during his two seasons at NIACC. McCollum ranks 47th on the school\u2019s career scoring list with 692 points and is ninth on the school\u2019s career 3-point list with 115.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After NIACC, McCollum played at Northwest Missouri State from 2001-03 and helped guide the Bearcats to a record of 51-12 and a berth in the NCAA Division II Elite Eight in the 2001-02 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince the beginning of the year, I\u2019ve wanted to go to Northwest (Missouri State) because one of my buddies goes down there and he liked it down there,\u201d McCollum was quoted as saying in the Globe Gazette in 2001.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krafcisin recalls that McCollum was dead set on attending Northwest Missouri State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI certainly didn\u2019t want to talk him out of it,\u201d Krafcisin said. \u201cHe was very determined and pretty matter of fact. It worked out incredibly well for him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It certainly did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McCollum eventually became the head coach at Northwest Missouri State where he won four NCAA Division II national championships (2017, 2019, 2021, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his 15 years at Northwest Missouri State, McCollum posted a record of 395-91 (81.3 winning percentage) and he earned five NABC Division II national coach of the year awards, the most for a single coach in NCAA Division II history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During McCollum\u2019s one and only season at Drake, he led the Bulldogs to a record of 31-4 en route to being named the Missouri Valley Conference coach of the year. The Bulldogs won the MVC regular season and tournament titles and advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the quirky.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know about the white shirt and the tie,\u201d Krafcisin said jokingly of McCollum\u2019s traditional coaching attire, but it certainly works for him.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was so great how the Drake fans took to it \u2013 kind of like (St. John\u2019s) Lou Carnesecca sweater (of the 1980s). It\u2019s way cool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krafcisin attended the Drake\/Belmont game in Des Moines on Dec. 29, 2024 with a friend of his and they were nearing the Knapp Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re driving to the game and Ben\u2019s jogging down the street. It\u2019s 11:30 and the game is at 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re like \u2018OK.\u2019 It was amazing to see and he had a lot of faith in his assistants. All coaches are kind of quirky. They are kind of different.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the driven.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krafcisin also recalled visiting with McCollum a few years ago when he brought his Northwest Missouri State team to the DMACC campus for a preseason scrimmage against Minnesota State-Mankato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krafcisin, who stepped down as the DMACC\u2019s women\u2019s basketball coach after the 2021-22 season, remembered McCollum as the same type of person he was a player at NIACC from 1999-2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe was just intense,\u201d Krafcisin said. \u201cThe only other person that I can remember like that is (former Iowa State and Chicago Bulls coach) Tim Floyd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou have their attention for awhile but then they started thinking about out of bounds plays or something. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. They are just so driven.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, McCollum moves from the Missouri Valley Conference to the Big Ten Conference and his former coach, who helped lead the Hawkeyes to the 1980 Final Four, is extremely proud of his former player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to believe,\u201d Krafcisin said. \u201cTo be at Iowa, I\u2019m very proud. I\u2019m trying to get out around Boone as much as I can and say \u2018that Ben McCollum played for me (at NIACC). It\u2019s pretty neat.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
