From UCLA Walk-On Guard to Rising Analytics-Savvy Coach at Oral Roberts
Kory Alford, son of legendary coach Steve Alford, played sparingly as a UCLA Bruins guard in 2014-15 (13 games, 0.3 PPG, 3 total points), but has since emerged as a coaching standout—posting a 110-48 record (.696 win%) as Huntington's NAIA head coach with four straight national tournament berths before joining Oral Roberts as associate head coach in April 2025. His differentiators: sharp analytics expertise (praised by Nevada staff) and player development (two 2,000-point scorers), making him a high-IQ, winning coach ideal for programs seeking data-driven innovation and proven success.
