Alexander is entering his 12th year as a
member of the Belmont basketball staff. In
the summer of 2002, Alexander was promoted
to Associate Head Coach.
Alexander's work with the team focuses on
the perimeter players, especially the
point guards. In addition to these duties,
he also assists in various aspects of the
recruiting process and oversees the
off-season individual workouts for
perimeter players.
During his time at Belmont, the Bruins
have ranked in the top-25 nationally in
three-pointers per game eight times and
were the only team in the NCAA from
1998-2002 that finished in the top four in
that category each season. Behind
Belmont's strong guard play, the Bruins
ranked among the NCAA's leaders in field
goal percentage, scoring, and assists.
Under Coach Alexander's tutelage, Belmont
has garnered Atlantic Sun All-Freshman
recognition four years in succession:
Brian Collins (2003), Josh Goodwin (2004),
Justin Hare (2005), Andy Wicke (2206).
Aside from the aforementioned four
players, Alexander was instrumental in the
development of All-Atlantic Sun player
Steve Drabyn.
Alexander enjoyed a stellar four-year
career (1992-95) at Belmont, establishing
himself among the top 10 in several of the
school's career statistical categories. As
the team's captain, he earned a spot on
the All-Tennessee Collegiate Athletic
Conference team in 1995 when Belmont
posted a 37-2 overall record and an 18-0
TCAC mark. Belmont registered a 119-25
record during Alexander's career.
For his contributions both as a player and
coach, Alexander was inducted into the
Belmont University Athletic Hall of Fame
on October 7th, 2005.
Alexander is a product of Brentwood
Academy where he was a three-sport
standout, playing in five state
tournaments and capturing two
championships. His success as a high
school and collegiate athlete is part of
the reason he is so highly valued by head
coach Rick Byrd. Alexander received a
bachelor's degree in physical education
from Belmont in 1995 and a master's degree
in sports management from Austin Peay
State University in 1996.
He and his wife, the former Sunni Dixon,
also a 1995 Belmont graduate, are the
parents of three children: Allie (7), Reed
(4) and Mason (21 months). They reside in
Franklin, Tennessee.
