The Sunday Slate is back! The famous Confucian admonition may be both blessing and curse, but at least we live in interesting times. Basketball Let’s just jump right in and address the purple elephant in the room.

The men’s basketball team has a coach again. On Friday, the athletic department announced Belmont’s Casey Alexander as the program’s new head coach . He will make his first formal public appearance at a presser on March 16 in Bramlage Coliseum.

Alexander’s contract is reasonable, 5 years and beginning at $3. 3M, with a $50,000 raise for every year remaining on the contract. Alexander has been a mid-major head coach since 2011and has had significant success coaching at that level, including winning six conference titles.
