Following a national search, the University of Wisconsin-Superior has named Paul Eberhardt its new men’s basketball coach.

Eberhardt, a Wonewoc, Wis. native becomes the sixth head coach of the Yellowjackets in the past ten years. He takes over for Matt Siverling, who resigned his post in May to accept same position at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. In Siverling’s two seasons the Yellowjackets made a pair of Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) playoff appearances and posted an overall record of 29-24.

Eberhardt spent four seasons as an assistant coach, having two-year stints at UW-River Falls (1998-2000) and Scottsdale (Ariz.) Community College (2000-2002). In the summer of 2002 Eberhardt took his first head coaching position in college basketball when he was elevated to the top position at Scottsdale. He remained at SCC as the head coach of the Fighting Artichokes for eight seasons. Most recently Eberhardt has served as the athletics director and dean of students at Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls, Iowa.

Eberhardt’s official start date at UW-Superior is August 13, but his work has already begun for the 2012-13 season.
