Minot State names Peter Stewart as men’s basketball coach

MINOT, N.D. – Minot State University has named Peter Stewart as its 14th head men’s basketball coach, Athletic Director Rick Hedberg announced at a press conference Monday at the MSU Student Center.

“Peter has a variety of experiences, from playing at the NCAA Division II level at UND to the playing and coaching at a professional level overseas, to the last seven years at Peninsula College,” Hedberg said. “He has a great outgoing personality that connects well with student-athletes and community members and that’s real important as we move forward to NCAA Division II.”

Stewart has been the head coach at Peninsula College in Port Angeles, Wash., for the past seven seasons. He led his team to the North Division Conference Championship three times, the most recent in 2007-08. He has a 62-18 conference record over the past five seasons, including at 36-4 record at home during that span. Stewart was named the conference coach of the year twice, first in 2003-04 and the latest in 2007-08. His Peninsula College team has played in the post season six of the past seven seasons and has placed in the post season four! of the past five years.

Stewart has coached at all levels of basketball, including stints at MSU-Bottineau (now Dakota College at Bottineau, 1987-88), Adams State (1992-93), Minot State (1993-94), the Malaysian Professional Basketball league (1995) and the Australian Professional Basketball League (1989-1996 as a player and coach). He coached his team to the 1995 Malaysian Basketball League Championship.

A 1989 graduate of the University of North Dakota, Stewart played four seasons for the Sioux, being named team captain and selected as the North Central Conference Academic Player of the Year. He is pursuing a master’s degree in exercise physiology, sport and leisure science through Adams State College

Hedberg believes Stewart will be an important part of the Beavers move to the NCAA.

“We have some challenges ahead of us with our move to DII, but I am confident that Peter will be able to meet those challenges,” he said. “We are excited about the future of our men’s basketball program and excited about our department. We have a good group of coaches in place.”

Stewart, a native of Parshall, N.D., is married to Julie Ann Stewart, and they have three children.

Stewart was named as the head coach after a national search began in March.
