VAN BUREN (KFSM) – The process wasn’t a quick one but Van Buren athletics director Randy Loyd has to like the end result as the school announced Brad Autry as the new boys basketball coach on Thursday night.

Autry spent the past four seasons at Southern Illinois University as an assistant coach and has more than 20 years of experience in college basketball. He was last a head coach in the 2007-08 season at Dekaney High School in Texas.

Van Buren was led by Austin Trembley for the past three seasons but he stepped down to go into private business. The Pointers went 6-20 last season while posting a 2-12 record in the 6A-West. Trembley and the Pointers posted a winning record in each of his first two seasons.

Autry had coaching stops at Tulsa, UALR and Marquette to highlight his college coaching career.
