I have been keeping my eyes on former UIC assistant coach and now Head Coach Brock Erickson ever since he took over the D3 Nichols Bison. Going into the second semester of the ‘23-‘24 season, Coach Erickson is 58-13! 58 and 13! Some of course, would say, “Yeah, that’s a great record, but it’s Division 3.” It doesn’t and shouldn’t matter what level you’re at. Look at what Indiana State Head Coach Josh Schertz has done. He came from the Division 2 ranks. Coaching is coaching. Basketball IQ, developing a system, developing players, recruiting said players is still what matters. Coach Erickson has done an outstanding job at Nichols. His teams have been ranked and have gone to the Tourney in both his years there.
Coach Yaklich has two years left to run this program. 6 years is more than enough time. If nothing improves dramatically and this program doesn’t make the Dance in the next two and a half years, Coach Erickson is at the top of my list!
I’m hoping AD Mike Lipitz is taking note as well.
