Peacocks proud to sign Hanna, Roth

You might see Brian Dolan and his assistant coaches at more and more Mississippi Valley Conference basketball games in the weeks and years to come.

Dolan is the head coach at Upper Iowa University in Fayette and he's looking for more good players from bigger schools.

He began building the program at UIU seven years ago with guys from Class 1A and 2A schools, because that's where he could get players. He still cherishes the smaller schools, but is getting increasingly involved with Class 3A and 4A athletes.
