The prodigal son returns
After spending two years at UNLV coaching the Rebels, former men’s basketball assistant coach Justin Hutson is returning to SDSU.
Huston was the Aztecs’ men’s basketball assistant coach from 2006-2011 and played a key role in SDSU’s recruiting efforts, brinings players such as Kawhi Leonard and Chase Tapley to Montezuma Mesa.
Before coaching the Aztecs and Rebels, Hutson coached at Cal Poly and Cal State Bakersfield.
Hutson helped UNLV to two NCAA tournament appearances and two seasons with 25 or more wins.
During his five seasons at SDSU, Hutson was a part of a coaching staff that recorded the most games above .500, most points, longest winning streak, most field goals and numerous other school records. He became the defensive coordinator and helped the Aztecs lead the MWC in scoring defense in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Men’s tennis
The Aztec men’s tennis team also remains unbeaten in conference play, after defeating the University of New Mexico 4-3 on Sunday at the Aztec Tennis Center.
SDSU swept its doubles matches for the point and won three singles matches.
The Aztecs are now 17-7 overall and 5-0 in the MW. SDSU will travel to Reno to play against the Wolf Pack Sunday.
