Coaching career
Immediately after graduation, Alexander joined the Belmont coaching staff under Rick Byrd, where he stayed for 16 seasons. He was a part of a coaching staff that reached four NCAA Tournaments. In 2011, Alexander got his first head coaching job at ASUN Conference rival Stetson, where he guided the Hatters to a 24–36 record in two seasons. On May 18, 2013, Alexander was named the head coach of Lipscomb, remaining in the A-Sun, and returning to his native Tennessee. In 2018, Alexander coached Lipscomb to its first Atlantic Sun title and first NCAA Division I Tournament appearance, and coached Lipscomb to its 1st regular season championship in 9 years in 2019. He was the 2018 recipient of the Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award.[2] On April 10, 2019 he was named head coach for Belmont University, following former head coach Rick Byrd's decision to retire after 33 seasons.
On March 12, 2026 it was reported that Alexander had agreed to become the next head coach of Kansas State University.
