PORTLAND, Ore. – Barret Peery, associate head coach for Santa Clara men's basketball, was named head coach at Portland State on Monday.
Peery spent the 2016-17 season under first-year head coach Herb Sendek, helping the Broncos reach the West Coast Conference Tournament semifinals for the first time since 2010-11 and tie for the best turnaround in the league at 5.0 games.
Santa Clara, which went to 17-16 from a 11-20 record in 2015-16, finished tied for fourth in the league standings despite navigating the season with seven players missing more than 70 games due to injury.
