Ep: 22 Belmont Basketball Coach Casey Alexander

It's Not The Duck

Casey Alexander, of Belmont University, could be one of the best basketball coaches in College Basketball today. His early success at Lipscomb University and his recent Coaching achievements at Belmont University speak loudly both to his technical skills, as well as his ability to be a "players coach", a mentor who loves his players. His early roots began at Brentwood Academy, TN and culminated as a point guard at Belmont University leading the team to a 37-2 record. Playing under legendary Coach Rick Byrd and learning from one of the best "X's and O's" coaches of all-time, prepared Casey to become a successful coach himself. Coach Alexander's most gratifying highlight of his job is witnessing his players walk across the stage on Senior night and see how they have turned into a completely different person, a young man with a purpose to make something of their lives. Today, it is important to make a player's experience a "transformational experience and not a transactional one". The greatest challenge to a College Coach today according to Coach Alexander is" trying to marry a player's desire to "be seen, be noticed, be important " with the necessity to individually understand the importance of thinking "how can I become better and what can I do to help the team". With 10 games left in the College regular season, let's listen and learn from Coach Alexander, a man with great integrity and a Coach with a servant heart.
