TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — The College of Southern Idaho men’s basketball program has filled the assistant coaching vacancy left by Rob Rodriguez’s departure to Idaho State, hiring Matt Moorhouse to the coaching staff.
Moorhouse brings more than 20 years of coaching experience to the Golden Eagles.
He comes to CSI after serving as an assistant coach at Crean Lutheran High School in Irvine, California, where he helped the Saints capture the 2026 CIF Division I Championship and Crestview League Championship while advancing to the California State Regional Semifinals during a 28-8 season.
Prior to Crean Lutheran, Moorhouse spent eight seasons as the head boys’ basketball coach at Santiago High School in Garden Grove, California.
Before becoming a head coach at Santiago, Moorhouse spent 10 seasons on the coaching staff at Tustin High School, where he was part of the program’s 2013 CIF championship team. He has helped develop players who have gone on to compete at the collegiate and professional levels.
Moorhouse has also worked with the Los Angeles Blue Waves professional basketball organization. His experience includes scouting, film breakdown, player development, recruiting, practice preparation, and basketball operations.
A Southern California native, Moorhouse brings relationships throughout the California high school, AAU, and junior college basketball communities to CSI.
Moorhouse earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from California State University, Dominguez Hills, and his teaching credentials from the University of Redlands.
“Matt’s success as both a head coach and an assistant speaks for itself, but what impressed us most was his character, basketball knowledge, and commitment to helping players succeed,” Reinert said. “Matt is a great fit for our program and will make an immediate impact on Golden Eagle basketball.”
