        Sandquist Tim

 

        Following the departure of Assistant Coach Andy Peterson, Head Coach Mike Holmes was not sure if he would be replaced, or if all of the assistant coaching duties for the men's basketball program would fall to Assistant Coach Thad Tussey. Holmes then got a phone call from the University of Nebraska-Omaha's coaching staff. Tim Sandquist, a graduate assistant last year at UNO, will serve as an assistant for Southwestern for the upcoming season.

Holmes said, "We have a special set of teaching principles here, so we can't just bring in anyone and expect them to contribute. Coaches I trust at Nebraska-Omaha spoke very highly of Tim, and after speaking with him, I knew he would be a tremendous asset to what we are trying to accomplish."

Sandquist has been in the UNO program since 2006. Prior to his time at Nebraska- Omaha, he was an assistant coach at Omaha Christian Academy. Sandquist recently completed his Master's of Arts at UNO, and also received his Bachelor's of Arts there.
