Tech hires their Jalie: Brooke Stoehr

[Coach Bill Lewis]

Looks like Tech is copying what North Texas University did with their hire.

As a Lady Techster from 1998-2002 she served as a two-year captain and starting point guard as a junior and senior, while leading the Lady Techsters to an impressive 119-16 mark under legendary coach Leon Barmore. She was instrumental in leading Louisiana Tech to four NCAA Championship appearances, including the Final Four in 1999 and two more Elite Eight appearances.

As a coach Stoehr began her career at Arkansas-Little Rock before returning to Tech coaching under Chris Long. Following her time in Ruston, she went to Southern Mississippi then to Texas Tech before landing her first head coaching job at Northwestern State.

During her time at Northwestern State, she turned a program around that won just two conference games before her arrival. In her first season (2012-13) they doubled their win total from the year before and qualified for the Southland Conference Tournament. The second year was even better as Northwestern State won the Southland Conference Tournament and their first 20-win season in 10 years. The next two seasons were more of the same as Northwestern State won the conference tournament both years.

Louisiana Tech is expected to hold a press conference Tuesday to announce the hiring of Brooke Stoehr as head coach of the Lady Techsters.
