"Coach Paben has brought success to the men's basketball program at Chadron State College," Tewahade said. "We thank him for time and dedication to Chadron State College."

Chadron State finished the 2023-24 season with a 12-17 overall record and a 9-13 mark in conference play. In four years, Paben had a combined record of 46-52 and was 36-39 in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference action.
