Montana college coach names twin brother to staff

HELENA, Mont. — Take a look down the Carroll College men’s basketball bench this fall, and you might think you’re seeing double.

Coach Brandon Veltri on Thursday announced the hiring of identical twin brother Brock Veltri as assistant coach and sports information director at the NAIA school in Montana.

Brock Veltri joins the Fighting Saints from NCAA Division II Seattle Pacific University, where he spent the past five seasons as head assistant coach, overseeing scouting, recruiting, scheduling and travel.

The 32-year-old brothers played basketball together at Peninsula College in Port Angeles, Wash.

Brandon Veltri was named head coach in April after six seasons as an assistant at Carroll.
