North Dakota State College of Science President John Richman announced that Stu Engen has been named the new Athletic Director and Head Men’s Basketball Coach for the College effective immediately.

Engen replaces Scott Schumacher, who announced in May his plans to step down as Athletic Director and Head Men’s Basketball Coach after four years, to assume the men’s basketball coaching position at Blinn College in Brenham, Texas.

Engen has compiled 306 head collegiate coaching victories, and last October was inducted into the Augsburg College Athletic Hall of Fame. Eight of Engen’s former assistants have now become head collegiate basketball coaches. Engen most recently worked at Northland College, a Division III school in Ashland, Wis. He also served as Northland’s Assistant Director of Athletics.
