Vince Alexander has coached in Division II for over 20 years and won over 350 games, serving as the men's basketball head coach at Clayton State since 2021.  He has also coached at Mansfield University, the University of South Carolina Aiken and Saint Leo University.

While at Aiken, Alexander coached 14 All-Conference student-athletes including a pair of PBC Player of the Year recipients in Chris Commons (2008 & 2009) and Re’mon Nelson (2013). In 2014, Alvin Brown was named PBC Defensive Player of the Year while DeVontae Wright earned Tournament MVP honors in the same season.

From 2007-08 to 2013-14, USC Aiken won 168 games, turning around a program that had posted six consecutive losing seasons from 2001-07. During that span, the Pacers collected four PBC Regular Season Championships (‘08, 2012, 2013, 2014), five conference tournament championship game appearances (’08, ’09, ’10, ’13, ’14) and three tournament titles, including back-to-back titles in 2013 and 2014. 

Both seasons culminated with trips to the Elite Eight and, in 2014, the Final Four. Adding to his accolades, Alexander was named the Herbet Greene PBC Coach of the Year in 2008, 2012, 2013 and 14. He also earned NABC Southeast Region Coach of the Year honors in 2008, 2013 and 2014.

In 2013, he was a finalist for the Clarence “Big House” Gaines National Coach of the Year award.

Alexander began his collegiate head coaching career at Mansfield University, where he led the Mountaineers from 1999-05, posting an 89-74 record. He earned his first 20-win season during the 2003-04 campaign and helped guide the team to a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference East Division championship in 2005.
