Steve Alford named new head coach of Nevada

Just four days after the departure of Eric Musselman, Nevada has officially named Steve Alford the new head coach of the Wolf Pack.

Alford, 54, has accumulated a 509-269 record over 24 years as a head coach. He’s made 11 career NCAA Tournament appearances, but has failed to reach the Elite Eight.

“To be able to continue my career in a tight-knit community that has demonstrated its support for the basketball program is exactly the opportunity that Tanya and I were looking for, and we are thrilled to be in Northern Nevada,” Alford said in a press release.
