Montana native picked as coach

Missoula native Shawn Huse is the new head men's basketball coach at Montana State University-Northern.

"Coach Huse's credentials are excellent, his references spoke highly of him and the fact that he was born and raised in Missoula, Montana, and played college basketball in the Frontier Conference make him a perfect fit at Northern," MSU-N Chancellor Alex Capdeville said in a press release today.

Reached this morning by telephone, Huse said,

"I'm honestly just so excited. I haven't even had the time to really gather my thoughts. I'm just taken by my emotions."

Huse has been an assistant coach...
