But, really, there’s much more to the mental side of things than there is the physical side,” he said during a press conference in January. “Sometimes they think the toughness is the physical. Through the ups and downs of the 2019-20 season, Alford decided to focus on instilling mental toughness into his players. Alford must replace Harris’s explosive production in 2020-21. There were also high expectations surrounding Harris, a transfer from Louisiana Tech. Among them were Lindsey Drew, who missed the 2018-19 season recovering from a ruptured Achilles and hip surgery, and Jazz Johnson, who was named MW Sixth Man of the Year during his junior campaign. In addition to a coaching staff that knew the conference well, Nevada had a handful of returning players expected to make an impact. However, the new group still had enough talent to convince voters to peg them fourth in preseason predictions. Understandably, this Wolf Pack didn’t have the same buzz around them as when the program boasted Jordan Caroline, the Martin twins and others. The only recognition was freshman K.J Hymes as Preseason MW Freshman of the Year. Nevada didn’t have anyone on the 2019-20 Preseason All-Mountain West Team. The new Nevada coaching staff had to spend their first couple weeks on the job during the 2019 offseason re-recruiting players who had entered the transfer portal. The 2019-20 roster had lost seven of its top eight scorers and the top six rebounders. The 58 wins from 2017-19 made school history.īut this was not the program - at least from a personnel standpoint- that Alford inherited. That second wave of exits includes star player Jalen Harris, as the all-MWC first team guard elected to keep his name in the 2020 NBA Draft.Įric Musselman, the coach Alford replaced, gave the Wolf Pack a 110-34 record, three consecutive conference regular-season titles and three NCAA appearances. The 2019-20 season was a big transition with Nevada losing all five starters, and Alford is saddled with a similar challenge heading into next season with the loss of four starters. The first year of his 10-year deal with Nevada just ended, and the task of recreating success in a new school - at least right away - has already proven a difficult one. In six seasons with the Lobos, Alford picked up six Mountain West titles (four regular season, two tournament) and three MWC Coach of the Year honors. “There’s a lot of truth to that,” he said referring to his time leading New Mexico from 2007-13, and his new job leading the Wolf Pack. No refunds will be issued.During his official introduction as Nevada’s newest head coach in 2019, Steve Alford said someone made a joke about him not being able to get away from wolves.
