Louisburg College announces Jason Rasnake as the new Women's Head Basketball Coach

The Louisburg College Athletic Department and Athletic Director, Mike Holloman, announced the hiring of Jason Rasnake as head women's basketball coach Thursday.

"Jason has a wide range of experience in Women's Basketball," says Holloman. "He was the perfect candidate for our position because of his strengths as an administrator, recruiter, and in developing players. He has the total package that it takes to be successful."

Rasnake has most recently been an assistant at USC Upstate where he supported Coach George in all aspects of the program. Before Upstate, Rasnake spent eight seasons at N.C. State under legendary coach Kay Yow and Kellie Harper. He was with the Wolfpack for a total of 11 years, starting out with N.C. State as a member of the scout team.

Rasnake thanks Coach Holloman for the opportunity. "I am grateful for his trust in me to lead Louisburg women's basketball into the future," says Rasnake. "As soon as I stepped on campus I could tell Louisburg College is a special place. I am excited for the upcoming season, working with talented players, and competing at a high level."

The Chapel Hill, N.C., native graduated from N.C. State in 2005 with a degree in communication with a concentration in communication media. He went on to marry former Wolfpack player Jennifer Filipowski in May 2009. The couple have a daughter, Skylar.
