Former All-Northern Sun performer Jarod Obering is the newest addition to the University of Mary men’s basketball coaching staff, joining the Marauders for the 2017-18 season.
A 2005 graduate of Northern State University, Obering played for the legendary Wolves head coach Don Meyer. While at Northern State, Obering played in two NCAA tournaments (2004, ‘05) and led his team to an NSIC regular season title (2003) and two NSIC tournament championships (2004, ‘05). An All-NSIC selection in 2003, he scored 1,134 points in his career, 35th all-time in the Wolves annals. After his college career, Obering was offered a contract to play professionally overseas, which he declined.
“Coach Obering brings a great passion for the game,” said Marauders head coach Joe Kittell. “His knowledge and experience will make an immediate impact on our program. I am so grateful to him, his wife Amanda, and their family for the commitment and eagerness to join our program.”
Jarod and his wife Amanda have three children; Chevelle, Abel and Nova.
