He was most recently the head men's basketball coach at Indiana State University, serving in that role from 2010 to 2021. Lansing also previously spent eight seasons as an assistant coach at Indiana State, including the last three as associate head coach with the program. He has the second most wins in Indiana State program history.

Early life and education

Lansing was born in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, where his father Dave was a high school basketball coach.[1][2] Lansing later grew up in Harlan, Iowa and attended Harlan Community High School, where he graduated in 1986 and earned all-state honors in baseball (pitcher), basketball, and football (quarterback).[3][4]

After high school, Lansing attended the University of South Dakota. On the South Dakota Coyotes men's basketball team, Lansing played at guard from 1986 to 1990 under head coach Dave Boots. He averaged 3.4 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 2.3 assists as a senior in 1989–90 and concluded his college career with one of the highest career assist totals in program history.[5][1] Lansing was also part of South Dakota teams that appeared in the 1989 and 1990 NCAA Division II Tournaments. Lansing graduated from South Dakota in 1990 with a bachelor's degree.[1]

Coaching career

Early coaching career (1990–2010)

After his playing career, Lansing remained at South Dakota from 1990 to 1992 as a graduate assistant under Dave Boots. Lansing completed his master's degree in counseling in 1992 and was promoted to full-time assistant coach that year.[1]

Returning to Iowa, Lansing was head coach at Theodore Roosevelt High School in Des Moines from 1993 to 1995.[3] Lansing led Roosevelt to consecutive winning seasons; the program had 12 straight losing seasons before his hire.[4]

In 1995 under head coach Sherman Dillard, Lansing returned to the college level in the first of multiple stints at Indiana State. Lansing helped Indiana State achieve a 16–11 record in 1997–98, the first of four straight winning seasons and the first winning season since 1980.[4]

After four years at Indiana State, Lansing became an assistant coach at Iowa under Steve Alford.[4] Lansing helped the 2000–01 Iowa team win the Big Ten Tournament, advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, and finish with a year-end no. 24 national ranking.[6] Iowa next appeared in the NCAA Tournament in 2005 and 2006.[1]

Lansing returned to Indiana State to be an assistant again on June 30, 2006, this time under Royce Waltman.[7] He was promoted to associate head coach in 2007 under new head coach Kevin McKenna.[8] The 2009–10 Indiana State team qualified for the 2010 College Basketball Invitational, the first postseason appearance since the 2001 NCAA Tournament.[1]

Indiana State head coach (2010–2021)

After McKenna resigned to accept an offer to be assistant coach at Oregon, Indiana State promoted Lansing to head coach on June 15, 2010.[9]

In his debut season as head coach, Lansing led Indiana State to a 20–14 record, MVC Tournament title, and NCAA Tournament automatic berth. He became the second Indiana State rookie head coach to lead the program to the NCAA Tournament, last achieved by Bill Hodges in 1979.[1]

Lansing led the 2011–12 Indiana State team to an 18-15 record and a berth in the 2012 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. On December 17, 2011, Indiana State upset no. 25 Vanderbilt 61–55.[10]

In the 2012–13 season, Indiana State finished 18–15 and made the 2013 National Invitation Tournament, losing in the first round to Lansing's former team Iowa. The regular season included upsets of ranked Wichita State and Creighton teams.[11]

In 2013–14, Lansing reached a new high in total wins with a 23–11 record.[1] For the third straight season, Indiana State upset a nationally ranked opponent, this time no. 21 Notre Dame on November 17, 2013, by a score of 83–70.[12]

After this initial success, Indiana State had losing records from the 2014–15 to 2018–19 seasons.[13] The 2019–20 team had the first winning record in six years at 18–12 with a third place finish in the MVC standings.[13] The 2020–21 team had a second straight winning record at 15–10 and finished fourth in the MVC.[14]

On March 8, 2021, Indiana State athletic director Sherard Clinkscales announced that the university would not renew Lansing's contract after its March 31 expiration, citing concern for the "long-term success of the program."[15] Lansing concluded his Indiana State head coaching record with a cumulative 181–164 record, one win short of all-time wins leader Duane Klueh.[15]
