thru 2024-25

Casey Alexander was introduced as the 10th head men's basketball coach in program history Wednesday, April 10, 2019.

He begins his seventh season as head coach in 2025-26.

Alexander's first six seasons as head coach at Belmont - succeeding hall of fame coach Rick Byrd - have been extraordinary.

Belmont is one of only 21 programs in the nation with 140 or more victories since the start of the 2019-20 season, including the likes of Houston, Gonzaga, Duke, Purdue, and UConn.

Belmont is one of only four programs outside traditional multi-bid leagues (Drake, Liberty, North Texas) in that fraternity.

Belmont posted another 20-win season in 2024-25, joining the exclusive company of Gonzaga, Kansas and Oregon as programs to win 20 or more games in 15 consecutive seasons.

Alexander has also posted nine consecutive 20-win seasons himself (dating back to his tenure at Lipscomb) - one of only six active NCAA Division I head coaches, joining Dana Altman, Mark Few, Greg McDermott, Kelvin Sampson and Bill Self.

Alexander also has one of the best conference records in the nation over the last eight seasons, 122-38 (.763).

Belmont finished Top 3 in the Missouri Valley Conference in 12 statistical categories in 2024-25, and ranked among national leaders in 3-point field goal percentage, effective field goal percentage, assists, and assist-turnover ratio.

Belmont has posted 22 all-conference honorees during Alexander's tenure, including five in 2024-25 (Jonathan Pierre, Carter Whitt, Sam Orme, Isaiah Walker, Brody Peebles).

With two-time all-conference guard Ben Sheppard selected No. 26 by the Indiana Pacers in the 2023 NBA Draft, Belmont is among exclusive company with two or more first-round selections in the NBA Draft over the last six years.

Despite graduating program legends Grayson Murphy and Nick Muszynski and seven of the Bruins’ top eight scorers, Alexander led Belmont to a 21-11 record in its inaugural season in the always-competitive Missouri Valley Conference.

Belmont earned season sweeps of regular season champion Bradley and 2022 regular season champion Northern Iowa.

Belmont’s 14 conference victories also represented the most league victories in the nation for any program in its first year in a new league since 2016.

Sheppard, Drew Friberg, Ja’Kobi Gillespie and Cade Tyson earned MVC conference honors.

Belmont ranked Top 50 nationally in eight statistical categories, including seventh in 3-point field goal percentage and 17^th in effective field goal percentage.

Alexander was also named finalist for the Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award for the third time, an award he received in 2018.

He joined the exclusive company of Mark Few, Tom Izzo and Jay Wright as the only coaches in America to win 100 or more games and win four consecutive conference championships from 2018-21.

Belmont has earned national Top 25 poll votes to 11 of the last 13 seasons, while finishing the season ranked Top 100 12 consecutive seasons - joining the likes of Gonzaga, Saint Mary's (CA), San Diego State and Wichita State outside the autonomous conferences.

Following another impressive campaign, Belmont finished its decade in the Ohio Valley Conference with an 81-5 record at the Curb Event Center in league games. The Bruins finished first or second in conference standings 17 consecutive seasons (12 first, 5 second) before placing third in its inaugural Missouri Valley Conference season.

Belmont finished the 2021-22 season with a 25-8 record, and joined Saint Mary's (CA) and San Francisco as one of three programs (outside traditional multi-bid conferences) to earn at-large bids to the NCAA Tournament and National Invitation Tournament over the last 15 years.

The Bruins played one of the nation's toughest non-conference schedules, earning victories over four programs receiving national Top 25 votes - including Drake and Iona - en route to the ESPN Events Invitational Championship game, broadcast by Jon Sciambi and Dick Vitale.

Nick Muszynski, Grayson Murphy and Ben Sheppard earned First Team All-OVC and NABC All-District honors.

In 2020-21, Belmont went 26-4, which included 21 consecutive victories, an OVC-record 30 consecutive conference victories (over two seasons, including tournament), national Top 25 poll votes eight consecutive weeks and the program's 12th regular season conference championship in 16 years.

Belmont also entered Selection Sunday with the most wins in America (26, Gonzaga).

The 1995 Belmont graduate was named 2021 Tennessee Sports Writers Association (TSWA) Men's Basketball Coach of the Year, was a candidate for the Naismith Men's Coach of the Year, and finalist for the Hugh Durham National Coach of the Year Award and the Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year Award.

Nick Muszynski and Grayson Murphy earned several national honors, while Luke Smith was named All-OVC Newcomer Team and CoSIDA Academic All-American.

Alexander led Belmont to Ohio Valley Conference regular season and tournament titles in 2020, and the program's ninth NCAA Tournament bid since 2006.

Alexander's 26 victories represented the most by any first-year head coach in NCAA Division I in 2019-20, and Belmont's victory at Boston College became the latest Power 5 Conference conquest.

Adam Kunkel, Grayson Murphy and Nick Muszynski earned All-OVC First Team honors, marking the third consecutive year Belmont had three players earn first team all-conference honors in the same season.

Moreover, Murphy joined NBA Champion Ian Clark as the second Belmont player of the the program's NCAA Division I era to earn conference defensive player of the year honors.

One of the most instrumental contributors to Belmont's ascension to national prominence in NCAA Division I and NAIA, Alexander spent six seasons as head coach at Lipscomb University.

The Nashville native spearheaded a program renaissance, leading the Bisons to the best three-year stretch of their NCAA Division I era and the first NCAA Tournament appearance in school history. Lipscomb won 113 games during Alexander's tenure, including 72 over the final three campaigns. In addition, Lipscomb went 59-31 in Atlantic Sun Conference games and a sparkling 35-9 during the last three seasons.

Alexander led Lipscomb to a 29-8 record in 2018-19, rewriting the program's record book from total wins, national top 25 poll votes and top 50 ranking in the inaugural NET ranking system. The Bisons won the Atlantic Sun Conference regular season championship and defeated Davidson, UNC Greensboro, North Carolina State and Wichita State in succession during an historic run to the 2019 Postseason NIT Championship game.

Earlier in the season, Lipscomb defeated No. 18 TCU for the program's first-ever victory over a nationally ranked opponent.

Lipscomb ranked top 25 nationally in numerous statistical categories, including scoring offense, scoring margin, assists per game, field goal percentage, free throws made, free throw percentage and defensive rebounding.

Alexander was named 2019 Atlantic Sun Coach of the Year, while Lipscomb senior Garrison Mathews garnered Associated Press All-America Honorable Mention and Atlantic Sun Player of the Year honors.

Three-point shooting was an area of strength during Alexander's tenure, as Lipscomb made 1,793 3-pointers over the course of six seasons.

Prior to Lipscomb, Alexander spent two seasons as head coach at Stetson University. Inheriting a program that spent the previous decade under .500, Alexander led the Hatters to an 11-7 conference mark in Year 2; equaling the most league wins for Stetson since 1987.

Stetson center Adam Pegg earned the 2013 Atlantic Sun Conference Men's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year award.

Prior to his first head coaching opportunity, Alexander spent two decades at Belmont; first as a player and later as a member of Rick Byrd's coaching staff.

A product of nearby Brentwood Academy, Alexander played point guard for Byrd at Belmont from 1991-95. He compiled a 119-25 record as a player, and helped lead Belmont to the top of the NAIA. As a senior in 1995, Alexander directed the then-Rebels to a 37-2 record, a No. 1 national ranking and an appearance in the NAIA National Semifinals.

From there, he spent 16 seasons as part of Byrd's coaching staff. Belmont won 287 games with Alexander on staff. Over Alexander's final eight seasons, the Bruins tallied 172 victories, six postseason appearances (four NCAA Tournaments, one NIT, one CIT), four Atlantic Sun Conference regular season championships, four Atlantic Sun Conference tournament titles, a remarkable 132-41 record in Atlantic Sun play, and road victories over Missouri, Alabama, and Cincinnati.

Alexander's final season as a Byrd assistant in 2011 was arguably the finest in program history; Belmont went 30-5 and led the nation in scoring margin.

Alexander played an integral role in the recruitment and development of Belmont standouts, such as NBA Champion Ian Clark ('13), Kerron Johnson ('13), Drew Hanlen ('12), Alex Renfroe ('09) and Justin Hare ('08).

Alexander was inducted into the Belmont University Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005.

He received a bachelor's degree in physical education from Belmont in 1995 and a master's degree in sports management from Austin Peay in 1996.

Alexander and his wife, the former Sunni Dixon, also a 1995 Belmont graduate, are the parents of three children: Allie, Reed and Mason.
