Austin Peters

Before joining the ACU MBB coaching staff for the 2022-23 season, Coach Peters spent two seasons coaching at his alma mater Olivet Nazarene University.  The Tigers won two  Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference championships and produced three NAIA All-Americans with his help.  A three year stint at NCAA Division III Shenandoah University preceded his time at ONU.  His first coaching role came as a graduate assistant at NCAA Division I Valparaiso University.  The highlights from his Valpo days were two Horizon League titles, two trips to the National Invitational Tournament (2017 NIT runner up), and ten players who went on to play professionally.

Peters wrapped up his playing career at Olivet Nazarene University with a degree in accounting.  Two years later, he earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Valparaiso University.

Coach Peters and his wife- Emily, who works in the ACU Admissions Office, enjoy Marvel Movies (have a ranking for all of them), playing board games, and eating Chipotle.  The Peters attend Scottsdale Bible Church.
