Capt. Sid Tomes enters his first season in 2025-26 as an assistant coach with Air Force men’s basketball.
Tomes, a 2020 Academy grad., returns to the Air Force basketball program where he lettered four seasons for the Falcons from 2016-2020.
He comes back to the Academy after spending the last three years at Fort Meade, Md., with the 75th Intelligence Squadron, where he led and executed real-world cyber defense operations supporting global missions.
During his time at Fort Meade, Tomes stayed active in the basketball circuit, serving as an assistant coach at national powerhouse Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C. During his three seasons under coach Stephen Turner at Gonzaga, he helped the Purple Eagles to be consistently ranked in the top-10 nationally. The 2024-25 team went 29-5, winning the DCSAA State Championship, and he helped send nine players to the Div. I college basketball level.
In addition to coaching, Tomes also played in the Goodman Summer League in DC, which is regarded as one of the most competitive summer leagues in the country.
Prior to his stint at Fort Meade, Tomes was stationed at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., with the 65th Cyberspace Squadron, where he contributed to building one of the first functional cyber missions in the Space Force.
During his playing career at Air Force, Tomes was a three-year starter and team co-captain as a senior. A do-it-all combo guard, Tomes racked up 537 career points and 200 assists across 110 career games played. As a senior, Tomes ranked second in the team in assists, while averaging 6.0 points and 3.2 rebounds per game. His 84.6 percent free throw shooting led the team and ranked 10th all-time at Air Force in the single-season record book.
Tomes is a native of Woodbury, Minn. He was a four-year letterwinner in basketball for Paul Virgin at East Ridge High School, where he earned multiple all-conference honors. Tomes comes from a basketball family, as his sister also played college basketball and his father played professionally in Germany.
