Doubt that was an easy decision for him, but the extra zeros probably help.

Casey Alexander grew up in Chatanooga, played basketball at Belmont, started his coaching career at Belmont, coached some other places, and then came back to be the head coach at Belmont for seven years.

It was cool to see a successful handoff from Byrd to Alexander that allowed Belmont to elevate to MVC and continue to be one of the better mid-major brands in CBB. Hope the next coach keeps it going.

Belmont alum and one-time Ohio verbal Evan Bradds is a Duke assistant. Bet he gets a look.

31 years young. Grew up in southern Ohio.

The Tennessee State coach (in the big dance) is from the Coach K tree. Age 37.

There are so many better options than what we seem to be stuck with.

Did you know there is no such word that is opposite of "it" in the English language? But whatever the opposite of "it" is, that's what our current coaching staff is.

For the seventh best job in the MAC? Guys are smart and a places like Belmont and T-State are no brainers.

TSU is in a dangerous area. Eddie George bailed for BGSU as soon as it opened.

Plus, the OVC is a sinking ship. Even Tennessee Tech is leaving.
