I teased this one earlier today on X…I can now confirm that Kyle Blackbourn will take over as the head men’s basketball coach at D2 UW Parkside.

Blackbourn has spent the past two seasons as the head coach at D2 Rockhurst where he went 40-19 (.678) including a 23-7 (17-3 GLVC) mark this past season.

Prior to his time at Rockhurst, Blackbourn spent eight seasons on the staff at Wisconsin.

An official announcement is expected shortly.
