Joel DePagter is now officially the head men's basketball coach at Lawrence University. The University removed the interim tag from DePagter's title on Monday.
The 1998 Lawrence graduate was named interim head coach in April after spending the previous four seasons as an assistant coach for the Vikings.
Lawrence has a 4-0 record this season and returns to action on Saturday when it travels to perennial power UW-Stevens Point for a nonconference game.
