warner Pacific hires Jared
Valentine as head Coach
POrTLanD, Ore. - Warner Pacific
College has selected Jared Valentine as head
coach of the men’s basketball program fol-
lowing a national search. He succeeds his
father, Bart Valentine, who retired in March
after coaching the Knights for 12 seasons.
“It’s an incredible honor to build upon
what my father and all of the current and
former players have done for this program,”
said Valentine. “I see coaching as a way to
develop people, not just athletes. Having the
opportunity to come alongside our players
in their process of personal and academic
development is deeply gratifying.”
While this will be Valentine’s first time
as a head coach, he has a long history with
Warner Pacific basketball. He played two
seasons for the Knights (1999-2001), and
led the team to the NCCAA National
Tournament in 2000. Despite suffering a
season-ending injury his senior year,
Valentine still ranks fifth all-time in assists
at the college with 371.
After graduating in 2001, Valentine joined
the Warner Pacific coaching staff. Since
then, the Knights have enjoyed seven 20-
win seasons and an overall record of 182
wins and 110 losses.
The Knights compete in the Cascade
Conference, one of the toughest NAIA
Division II conferences in the nation, with
the likes of two-time national champion
Oregon Institute of Technology and Eastern
Oregon University. The Knights were con-
ference champions in 2006, co-champions
in 2007, and conference tournament cham-
pions in 2007 and 2008. The team has also
made six consecutive trips the NAIA
Division II national tournament.
“Jared’s experience, knowledge of our
program, and passion for seeing student ath-
letes succeed on and off the court made him
the right choice,” said WPC athletic director
Ryan Kaiser. “For Jared, it’s about mentor-
ing players first, but he’s also as competi-
tive as they come. His teams will be pre-
pared every night.”
Valentine says Warner Pacific’s urban
campus is a major plus when it comes to
recruiting. There is a host of talent in the
Portland area, and players also are attracted
to the college’s close-knit community.
“We definitely have a specific niche,” he
said. “Students like our campus environ-
ment. It’s been a good place to get talented
athletes who want an education.”
In addition to his coaching duties,
Valentine has worked in financial aid and
student affairs at Warner Pacific since 2003.
He will continue to serve in his current role
as the Interim Assistant Dean of Student
Affairs.
“Jared understands our mission as an
urban institution that is ‘in the city and for
the city,’” said Warner Pacific president
Andrea P. Cook, Ph.D. “Our basketball pro-
gram is an extension of that vision. Our
men’s basketball program is in good
hands.”
