Northwestern State Athletic Director Greg Burke announced Wednesday the hiring of Brooke and Scott Stoehr as the program’s first co-head coaching duo in the 38 years of the program’s existence.

Their appointment is subject to approval by the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors. They replace Jennifer Graf who resigned as head coach last month.

Brooke was an outstanding point guard from 1998-2002 under legendary coach Leon Barmore at Louisiana Tech.

She has spent the last three years as an assistant coach at Texas Tech and recently helped guide the Lady Raiders to a third round appearance in the Women’s National Invitational Tournament. Prior to Texas Tech, she spent a season on the staff at Southern Mississippi and three years on the staff at her alma mater, Louisiana Tech following a stay at Arkansas-Little Rock.

Scott, who received his degree in biology from Nebraska Wesleyan in 1997 and his master’s degree in kinesiology from North Texas in 1999, began his coaching career at Nebraska Wesleyan University and followed that with stints at North Texas, Florida State, Arkansas-Little Rock and Louisiana Tech before leaving the college ranks for high school in 2008.
