Coach Alexander also highlighted how the European style of play has transformed the game and contributed to its evolution.

Regarding his team's playing style, he mentioned a focus on strong defense, primarily man-to-man, aiming to limit the opposition's quality shots. He stressed that winning consistently requires excellence on both ends of the floor.
He credited former Belmont head coach Rick Byrd as a significant influence on his coaching philosophy. Outside of basketball, Coach Alexander enjoys playing golf and watching the Chicago Cubs with his family.
