Lake Erie College

Jake Perrin is entering his second season as the assistant coach of the Storm men's basketball program in 2025-26.

Perrin comes to Lake Erie after spending the 2023-24 season at the University of Tennessee-Martin. There, the Skyhawks boasted an impressive 21-11 record, finishing as the shared Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) regular season champions and entered the conference tournament as the No. 2 seed.

Before UT-Martin, Perrin served as a graduate assistant at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. There the Hawks went 32-2 with a 21-1 record in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) play. IUP was ranked No. 1 nationally in the National Association of Basketball Coaches poll for four weeks, tallied its fourth consecutive conference championship and secured the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Division II Atlantic Region Tournament.

At IUP, Perrin worked with PSAC Athlete of the Year Shawndale Jones, who also received All-American accolades and a spot in the NCAA Division II Reese's All-Star Game in March 2023. He joined Dave Morris and Tomiwa Sulaiman as All-PSAC West first team recipients.
           
Before his stint at IUP, Perrin was the head boys varsity coach at Punxsutawney High School for three seasons. Inheriting a team that went 0-10 in league play, he implemented gradual improvement – wrapping up his tenure with a 2021-22 squad that went 10-11 overall and advanced to the District 9 championship game.
           
Hailing from Brockway, Pa., Perrin also spent four years with the Dubois Dream semiprofessional organization. After he was the starting point guard for the team, he filled a variety of roles before eventually assuming the role of head coach. He assisted in landing multiple NCAA Division I and Division II student-athletes on his roster.
           
Perrin graduated from Penn State University DuBois with a bachelor's degree in business administration and management in 2018. He earned his Master's degree in business administration from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2023.
