South Dakota State University’s men’s basketball coach T.J. Otzelberger announced Tuesday the addition of two new assistant coaches, Curtis Weathers and Reed Tellinghuisen.

Curtis Weathers brings over 30 years of player development and coaching experience into the role, most recently as the Chief of Operations at Arete Sports. He also founded the Terry Porter (TP) Elite and Stay in the Game, youth development organizations.

Arete Sports is a Philadelphia based sports management agency which represents NBA and international basketball players where Weathers was responsible for scouting, evaluating, recruiting, pre-draft training, player development and client management.

He served as the Program Director for TP Elite, a grass roots youth basketball program, run in collaboration with the Mary Ryan Boys and Girls Club of Milwaukee that featured the top high school boys players in Milwaukee. Weathers was also President of Stay in the Game, a Milwaukee based non-profit youth academic support, player development and mentoring program, established to guide at-risk students that aspired to be college student athletes.

Tellinghuisen, who will be a graduate assistant, graduated in May 2018 after a four-year career where he started more games and made and attempted more 3-pointers than any Jackrabbit in history. The Sac City, Iowa native is tied for the school-record in career games played and closed his time at SDSU sitting 11th on the school’s all-time scoring chart.
