Under his guidance, the Golden Eagles ranked first in the league for made three‑pointers and third in three‑point percentage during the 2022‑23 campaign.
Doug Novsek returns to the program after coaching at Mt. Vernon High School and earlier roles at Eastern Illinois University and the University of Idaho.

Graduate assistant Dylan Ingram, a recent graduate of the University of Indianapolis, earned Great Lakes Valley Conference Freshman of the Year honors at Maryville University before transferring to the Saints. He compiled a 7.9‑point average over two seasons at Indianapolis and a 5.0‑point average during his earlier collegiate years, earning a bachelor’s degree in sport management in 2025.
The new staff members tie the program to a network of institutions that spans Indiana, Tennessee, Illinois, Idaho and Nevada, linking the university to partners such as the Ohio Valley Conference, Tennessee Tech and several other regional universities.
