“We thank Coach Alexander for his service to the basketball program as head coach,’’ said Phillips. “The program at this time, however, needs a new direction.”
Alexander was in his sixth season at Tennessee State posting a record of 67-107 and 48-56 in the Ohio Valley Conference. Overall, in 24 years, Alexander has posted a record of 344-306. Last season, TSU finished 15-17, 10-10 in the OVC, after reaching the championship game of the Ohio Valley Conference.
Mark Pittman will serve as interim head coach.
