About Augustana University Basketball
Augustana basketball has built something real—a program where consistent excellence is the expectation, not the exception. Head coach Tom Billeter has cultivated a culture that demands discipline, accountability, and a genuine commitment to winning within the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. Players here understand that competing at the Division II level means competing against athletes who've chosen this path deliberately, athletes who belong. What sets Augustana apart is the marriage of competitive rigor and genuine student support. The program values players who can thrive in both arenas—on the court and in the classroom. Sioux Falls offers a tight- knit community where your performance matters and your growth is tracked. The Vikings program operates with the infrastructure and expectation of a higher-division team, which means you'll develop habits and resilience that translate regardless of where your basketball journey leads next. This isn't a program that settles. Neither should you. Billeter's teams play with purpose, and roster spots are earned through consistent work and measurable improvement. If you're the kind of player who thrives when standards are high and feedback is direct—where your potential meets preparation—Augustana deserves serious consideration. Before you reach out to a program at this level, make sure your game is where it needs to be. Florida Coastal Prep exists to help serious players close that gap— through elite training, academic support, and real exposure. Start at floridacoastalprep.com or /contact/.
