) - Alabama State University’s head basketball coach Tony Madlock announced Sunday that he is stepping down after four years with the program. “Coach Madlock did a commendable job leading our men’s basketball program,” Alabama State Vice President and Director of Athletics said.
“In just three seasons, he transformed the program into a 20-win team, a SWAC champion, and a history-making NCAA Tournament team that won the first tournament game in the history of the program.”ASU’s run saw them win 10 of their final 12 games, including three consecutive victories at the SWAC Tournament to win the program’s fifth SWAC Tournament title and advance to the program’s fifth NCAA Tournament appearance. Under coach Madlock, the team earned ASU’s second First Four appearance and secured the program’s first NCAA Tournament victory in a game against Saint Francis that went down to the buzzer. Madlock’s final season also included a win over in-state rival UAB, and redshirt first-year student Jaquarius Stanback was named the SWAC’s Defensive Player of the Year.I would like to thank Dr. Ross and Dr. Cable for their leadership and support during my time as the head men’s basketball coach. My family and I would like to thank Hornet Nation for their love and support. During that magical 2024-2025 season, history was truly made. To all my former players, student managers, trainers, administrators, and assistant coaches, you have been so influential in my growth as a coach. Alabama State University and the city of Montgomery will always have a special place in my heart. We are grateful for Coach Madlock’s contributions and wish him and his family all the best in their future endeavors. As we begin a national search for our next head men’s basketball coach, Alabama State Athletics remains committed to the continued growth and investment in our men’s basketball program.‘No Kings Day’ protest draws more than 1,000 to Montgomery, organizers sayTroy hires NC State assistant Adam Howard as men’s basketball coach
