Associate Head Coach Casey Alexander

Casey Alexander is entering his 13th 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 ten 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 have ranked among the NCAA’s leaders in field goal percentage, scoring, and assists. Moreover, in 2006-07, behind improved perimeter defense, Alexander helped Belmont lead the Atlantic Sun and rank second in the NCAA in three-point field goal percentage defense (.285).

Under Coach Alexander’s tutelage, Belmont garnered Atlantic Sun All-Freshman recognition four years in succession: Brian Collins (2003), Josh Goodwin (2004), Justin Hare (2005), Andy Wicke (2006). 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 championship games, capturing two. 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 (8), Reed (5) and Mason (2). They reside in Franklin, Tennessee.
