BUTLER, Pa. — Matt Clement, a right-hander who won 87 games during nine major league seasons, has been hired by alma mater Butler (Pa.) High School as its basketball coach.

Clement is 34 and last pitched in the majors for Boston in 2006 before shoulder problems ended his career. He had his best season in 2005, going 13-6 with a 4.57 ERA for the Red Sox and making the AL All-Star team.

Clement won 10 or more games five times, going 14-12 for the Cubs in 2003. A former third-round draft pick by San Diego, he broke into the majors by winning his first two decisions for the Padres in 1998. He ended his career with an 87-86 record for the Padres, Cubs, Marlins and Red Sox.

Among the other finalists for the Butler High job was Mark Jula, the Center High School coach who was Clement's basketball coach at Butler.
