The College of Southern Idaho announced the appointment of Matt Moorhouse as an assistant coach, a decision that follows the departure of Rob Rodriguez and is expected to energize the Golden Eagles program.
Championship pedigree
Moorhouse arrives with more than two decades of coaching experience, having guided Crean Lutheran High School to the 2026 CIF Division I Championship and the Crestview League title, achievements that underscore his ability to build winning programs.
Prior to his tenure at Crean Lutheran, he served eight seasons as the head boys' basketball coach at Santiago High School, and earlier led Tustin High School to a 2013 CIF championship, demonstrating a consistent record of success across multiple schools in Southern California.
His professional connections include a stint with the Los Angeles Blue Waves basketball organization, and his expertise spans scouting, film breakdown, player development, recruiting and overall basketball operations, all of which align closely with the College of Southern Idaho's goals for the program.
Moorhouse holds a bachelor's degree in political science from California State University, Dominguez Hills and teaching credentials from the University of Redlands, and he is widely praised for his character, basketball IQ and commitment to player success, making him a natural fit for the Golden Eagles' vision.
