New men’s head basketball coach leaves Northland College

May 25, 2012

Stu Engen, newly-hired mens basketball coach at Northland, is leaving the college to pursue an athletic director position at a technical college in North Dakota. Engen joined Northland on April 23 after a national candidate search. He resigned on Tuesday as men's head basketball coach and assistant director of athletics.

"Northland is focused on its students and my first commitment now is to our men's basketball program and our players," said Bill Wilson, Northland College Director of Athletics. "I've assured them we are already moving quickly and with great care to identify and hire a new coach who is also well qualified to lead our men's basketball program. Northland is very fortunate to have attracted a pool of more than 162 candidates. We still have a number of very skilled coaches who were of great interest to the hiring committee in our initial selection process. We are confident of our ability to fill the vacant position with an experienced candidate in the coming weeks."
