SIUC athletic director Gale Sayers says the choice of 38 year old Joe Gottfried to coach Saluki basketball was his decision after a week of interviews. Four finalists from IAC screened over 60 applications with IAC and university officials approving Gottfried Miranda Iubelt and Dyer. Sayers expects strong support for Gottfried as fans adjust to a proven head coach and strong basketball program in the area.
George Lubelt, longtime SIU Carbondale assistant basketball coach, has taken vacation and is pondering his future after not being chosen as head coach. He remains a tenured teacher in physical and health education and may return to full-time staff duties. His future at SIUC includes possible continued teaching and perhaps more fishing.
