IPFW head coach Tony Jasick enters his third season at the helm of the Mastodon program, and has been a part of the IPFW coaching staff for nine years, including four as associate head coach, three as assistant coach, and two as head coach.

In his time as head coach, the Mastodons have won 27 games, the highest total by a head coach in their first two seasons in IPFW's Division I era, and the third-most all-time.

In 2012-13, IPFW totaled 16 wins, tied for the second-most wins in a season since 1992-93. Under Jasick's tutelage, Frank Gaines become the school's all-time leading scorer, earning his second straight Summit League First Team honor.

Two seasons prior, Gaines was named a National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-District Second Team, and before that, Ben Botts ’11 was named to the NCAA Division I-AAA Athletic Directors Association Scholar Athlete team for the second consecutive year (2010, 2011), which honors twelve student-athletes across the nation annually.

Following IPFW’s membership in the Summit League, the honors have continued. Former Mastodons Ben Botts ’11, Deilvez Yearby ’10, David Carson '09, and Jaraun Burrows ’08 all were named All-Summit League during their senior seasons. Following the 2009 season, junior Deilvez Yearby was honored as the Summit League’s Sixth Man of the Year.

Since joining the Summit League prior to 2007-08 season, Jasick has watched IPFW student-athletes earn eight Summit League Player of the Week honors, and oversaw 25 Academic All-Summit League honorees.

Prior to joining the Summit League, forward DeWitt Scott ‘08 finished 15th in the nation in three point accuracy and garnered NCAA Division I All-Independent First Team honors during the 2005-’06 season.

Before arriving at IPFW, Jasick was a member of the coaching staff at Middle Tennessee State University. During the 2004-05 season at MTSU, he helped the Blue Raiders to 19 wins and coached Mike Dean and Michael Cuffee to All-Sun Belt Conference selections. He was responsible for video coordination, player academic progress, and community service projects.

During the 2003-04 season, Jasick was on the coaching staff of David Conrady at Newberry College. During his tenure, the Indians won 16 games, the best mark the school had seen since 1981-82. The Indians appeared in the South Atlantic Conference Championship game for the first time in school history, led by First Team All-SAC performer Rashaad Carter.
