Hardwood meets the heartland in Iowa women's basketball coach Jan Jensen

Jan Jensen stands at the center of Carver-Hawkeye Arena during an early fall practice, her iconic long bangs swept across her forehead. A whistle resting in her mouth and left hand tucked in her pocket, Jensen waits for players to get in position after giving drill instructions. She pauses for a beat.

“Here we go,” she says.

The whistle blows.

Not a second later, the high ceilings of Carver-Hawkeye Arena fill with the sound of a nationally ranked women’s basketball team at work.
