ALBANY, N.Y. -- Scott Beeten, an assistant coach at California, was
hired Tuesday as coach of the University at Albany's fledging Division I
basketball program.
He replaces Scott Hicks, who resigned to Loyola of Maryland. Beeten takes
over a team that went 11-17 last year.
"Scott Beeten embodies the qualities needed to run a successful Division I
program, and he will represent the university exceptionally well," said Lee
McElroy, the new athletic director.
"He has tremendous integrity, values the student-athlete, and is committed
to the University's high academic standards," McElroy added.
During his three years at Cal-Berkeley, the Bruins made two NIT appearances,
winning the title in 1999.
Beeten, 53, worked for seven years as Mike Jarvis' top assistant at George
Washington. He was also an assistant coach at Pennsylvania.
