Fans of Indian Hills Community College basketball are invited to meet the college's new head coach, Barret Peery, at an informal event next week.

Peery last week accepted the job of leading the IHCC hoops program.

Peery will be at Warrior Junction in the Advanced Technology Center on the Indian Hills Ottumwa campus on Tuesday, April 12, from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m.

There will be light refreshments served along with the chance to visit with the Warriors' new coach.

There is no charge to attend.

Peery comes to Indian Hills after three years as an assistant coach at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.

Prior to that, he was at the College of Southern Idaho for five years, the final three as head coach.

His teams compiled a record of 85-19 and made two national tournament appearances in three seasons at CSI.
