SEMO hires Ty Margenthaler as women's hoops coach

Just over a month ago Southeast Missouri State made the decision to not renew the contract of women's head basketball coach John Ishee.

Ishee spent five seasons leading the Redhawks program.  They finished 8-21 last season and 4-14 in the OVC.

Thursday morning Southeast Athletics Director John Schaffer introduced the programs new head coach, former Wisconsin assistant Ty Margenthaler.

He is signed to a 4-year deal with a base salary of $82,500 a year.

Margenthaler is a 1997 graduate of SIU-Edwardsville and spent the last five years as an assistant with the Badgers.

He becomes the 7th coach in the programs history.
