Jeremy Case Promoted to Associate Head Coach for Kansas Men’s Hoops – University of Kansas
A former guard for the Jayhawks, Case joined the staff in August 2016 and was promoted to a full-time assistant coach in April 2021. With Case on staff, which includes 2009 when he was a graduate student, Kansas has won one NCAA National Championship, five Big 12 regular-season championships and one Big 12 Tournament title. Additionally, KU has advanced to three NCAA Tournament Sweet 16s, an NCAA Elite Eight, and one Final Four during Case’s time on the staff.
“Jeremy has done a tremendous job as an assistant coach since 2021,” Self said. “He has played a big role both on the court and in the new world of college basketball recruiting.
“Jeremy and I discussed this promotion last spring but delayed announcing it with the staff changes we had going into the summer. I’m very excited for Jeremy and his family. He’s a rising star in the profession.”
Player development has been key with Case on staff as Kansas has produced nine Consensus All-America selections. Additionally, there have been more than 50 Big 12 postseason awards won by Jayhawks during Case’s stint on staff.
With Case on the KU staff, 11 Jayhawks have been selected in the NBA Draft, and more than 25 players have played professionally either in the NBA, the NBA G-League or overseas.
“I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity to continue my development at a place that is so special to me,” Case said. “Having the chance each day to work for a Hall of Fame coach is such an honor. I’m thankful to Coach Self for the belief he has in me as a coach and am very excited to continue to work with a great staff.”
Case came to KU after four seasons as an assistant coach at Houston Baptist University. Prior to HBU, Case spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Southeast Missouri State.
Case was a member of Kansas’ 2008 NCAA National Championship team and after graduation was on the KU staff while taking graduate courses at KU for the 2008-09 season.
A native of McAlester, Oklahoma, who was a redshirt in 2004-05, Case played in 94 games while at Kansas and won four Big 12 regular-season and three Big 12 Tournament championships. Including the 2008 title, Case was part of three NCAA Elite Eight teams while playing at KU.
A redshirt in 2004-05, Case earned his bachelor’s degree in communications in 2007 and was a two-time Academic All-Big 12 First Team honoree in 2006 and 2008.

Seneca priest killing suspect headed to state hospital
TOPEKA (KSNT) – The man accused of killing a Kansas priest outside a northeast Kansas church is headed to the state’s largest psychiatric facility for evaluation, prosecutors said Friday.
Gary Hermesch is accused of shooting Father Arul Carasala on April 3 outside Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Seneca. Carasala died at a nearby hospital.
Authorities said Hermesch went to the sheriff’s office immediately after the shooting and confessed.
A judge is determining whether Hermesch, of Tulsa, Okla., is competent to stand trial. An evaluation at Larned State Hospital in southwest Kansas will help make that determination, Nemaha County Attorney Brad Lippert said.
A status conference in the case is set for Dec. 18.

The Kansas City region is also in a position to serve as a “base camp” for as many as three national teams during the World Cup. The countries could base their World Cup operations at one of three locations in Kansas City throughout the tournament. Countries are expected to be announced in early 2026.
