Overview
- Multiple outlets report Belmont is finalizing a deal with Evan Bradds, with sources indicating he will remain on Duke’s staff through the NCAA Tournament before transitioning.
- Bradds would replace Casey Alexander, who left earlier this month to become Kansas State’s head coach.
- A two-time Ohio Valley Player of the Year, Bradds finished his Belmont career as the program’s Division I all-time leading scorer.
- His coaching path includes the G League’s Maine Red Claws, the Boston Celtics, the Utah Jazz under Will Hardy, and a 2025 move to Duke’s bench.
- Belmont went 26–6 this season and lost in the Missouri Valley Conference quarterfinals to Drake, and the Bruins have not reached the NCAA Tournament since 2019.
