Jase Herl is an assistant coach for West Virginia University men's basketball in Morgantown, West Virginia, joining Ross Hodge's first WVU staff in April 2025. He arrived in Morgantown with 16 years of coaching experience, including a stint as interim head coach at Colorado State.
In Herl's first season at West Virginia in 2025-26, the Mountaineers won 21 games and captured the 2026 College Basketball Crown in Las Vegas with victories over Stanford, Creighton and Oklahoma. WVU finished seventh in the Big 12 after being picked 11th in the preseason poll, despite entering the season without any returning scoring from the previous year. The team also posted notable regular-season results, including ranked wins over BYU and Kansas, a 22-point victory over Pitt that marked the program's largest margin against the Panthers in Morgantown, and a 13-0 home start, the school's best since 1981-82. West Virginia also produced two of its three largest road comeback wins in Big 12 play, rallying from 14-point second-half deficits at UCF and Cincinnati.
