A roast and appreciation dinner to honor Erv Inniger are scheduled for April 15 at the Great Hall of the Holiday Inn, 3803 13th Ave. S., Fargo. Inniger retired Jan. 18 after a 33-year career at NDSU as a coach and administrator.

He was inducted into the Bison Athletic Hall of Fame in 2001 as the winningest men's basketball coach in school history.
