Black Hills State men's basketball coach Paul Sather will succeed coaching legend Don Meyer at Northern State.
The NCAA Division II school in Aberdeen made the announcement Friday.
Sather has spent the past five seasons as the head coach at Black Hills State, an NAIA school in Spearfish.
The 65-year-old Meyer is battling health problems and retiring. He finished his career with a record of 923-324. The NCAA considers Meyer the winningest men's college basketball coach, even though his career was split between the NAIA and NCAA.
This past season, Philadelphia University's Herb Magee passed Bob Knight's 902 wins mark counting only NCAA games and Harry Statham at NAIA powerhouse McKendree University notched his 1,000th victory.
