“Jeff is a proven program builder with a depth of coaching experience,” Creech said. “His success at every stop along the way stands for itself, but what drew us to Jeff was his development of people. Relationships are the foundation of his recruiting and coaching, and I’m confident he is the right person to lead this program. Jeff has a clear vision of what a successful program under his leadership looks like, a vision built on the foundation of his success at five different Division I programs.”
Wulbrun has three decades of coaching experience, including 21 at the college level. He recently completed his fifth season at Stanford, serving the first two as an assistant before being named the associate head coach of the program ahead of the 2018-19 season.
Prior to his five seasons at Stanford, Wulbrun spent four seasons at UAB that included 80 wins, two conference championships and a trip to the NCAA tournament in 2015, where UAB knocked off third-seeded Iowa State. Before his time at UAB, Wulbrun served on staffs at Virginia Tech (2011-12), Illinois State (1993-97) and California (1986-93).
Wulbrun has helped guide three different Division I programs to March Madness: California, Illinois State and UAB.
