The Sanford Pentagon became the home of the
Augustana Vikings men’s and women’s basketball teams
beginning in the 2019-20 season. Augustana men’s
basketball captured the NSIC Tournament and NCAA
Region Championship in the venue on the way to its
Division II national title in 2016, while the women earned
an NSIC Tournament Championship at the Sanford
Pentagon in 2018. The cornerstone of the Sanford Sports
Complex in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is the Sanford
Pentagon, a 160,000-square-foot, five-sided facility
featuring nine basketball courts, including the
1950s/1960s-inspired Heritage Court. The venue
combines state-of-the-art amenities—including
high-definition video boards and executive suites—with
period-specific finishes that are a nod to the nostalgic
days of basketball. The 3,200-seat Pentagon is home to
Sanford POWER Basketball Academy, Sanford
POWER Volleyball Academy, the NBA G League’s Sioux
Falls Skyforce, the Northern Sun Intercollegiate
Conference Women’s and Men’s Basketball tournaments
and the South Dakota High School Basketball Hall of
Fame. For more information, visit sanfordpentagon.com.

first team laurels. Casey Schilling went on to earn Daktronics All-Central Region Second Team honors, marking the sixth-straight season Billeter has
produced an All-Region caliber player.

season. He was also a finalist for the John McLendon Coach of the Year honors that season.
In five seasons as the head coach at North Dakota State University, Billeter compiled a 97-50 record. During his tenure, the Bison posted four

coach Lute Olson. The Wildcats were 23-9 in 1985-86 and won the Pac 10 Conference title. Arizona advanced to the NCAA Tournament both seasons.
During his stint in Arizona, Billeter coached Sean Elliott (NBA), Steve Kerr (NBA), Tom Tolbert (NBA), Jud Buechler (NBA) and Kenny Lofton (MLB).
He then moved to Rice, where he served as an assistant coach from 1987 to 1992. The Owls won 20 games in 1991-92, the first 20-win season since
1953-54. Rice narrowly missed being awarded berths in the NCAA and NIT tournaments. While at Rice, Billeter coached the Owls’ star center, Brent
Scott (NBA).
Following his five-year run at NDSU, Billeter spent the 1997-98 season at St. John’s (N.Y.), where he served under head coach Fran Fraschilla and
helped the Red Storm to a 22-10 record. Led by Felipe Lopez (NBA) and Ron Artest (NBA), St. John’s advanced to the NCAA tournament.
Billeter then began a five-year run at Texas A&M under head coach Melvin Watkins. Together they helped the Aggies gain respect in the Big 12
Conference. In 2002-03, the Aggies posted a 14-14 record marking just the second .500 or better season in 14 years. While with the Aggies Billeter had
the opportunity to coach prominent players including Bernard King and Antoine Wright (NBA).
Billeter earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Illinois in 1983 and his master’s degree in exercise physiology from Arizona in 1987.
Tom and his wife, Paula, are the parents of four children: Mike (Lindsie), Kelsey (Kyle), Kyle and Brett. Tom and Paula are proud grandparents to Jack,
