Billikens name Soderberg to replace Romar ST.
LOUIS (AP) � Brad Soderberg became the head basketball coach at Saint Louis
University on Friday, one year after joining the Billikens as an assistant.
The 39-year-old Soderberg replaces Lorenzo Romar, who last
week became head coach at the University of Washington, his alma mater.
``My face actually hurts I've been smiling so much,'' said
Soderberg, who had also been a finalist for the coaching vacancy at
Wisconsin-Green Bay.
Soderberg, an assistant to Dick Bennett at Wisconsin for
five years, became interim coach for the Badgers for the 2000-01 season
after Bennett retired three games into the season.
Soderberg led the Badgers to a 16-10 record. They lost in
the first rounds of the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments.
After Wisconsin chose Bo Ryan as Bennett's replacement,
Soderberg joined Romar's staff at Saint Louis.
