UNR men’s basketball coach Steve Alford will retire at the conclusion of the 2026-27 season, the school announced Thursday.
Alford, entering his eighth season with the Wolf Pack, has a career coaching record of 724-386 in 36 years at six schools.
“After 36 years, I feel like this is the right time to step away from the bench,” Alford said. “Tanya and I have loved our time in Reno, and have embraced this amazing community and built lifelong friendships. I want to thank the University of Nevada for the opportunity to lead this program, and I am looking forward to finishing this season the right way, with a team I believe in.”
Alford ranks 10th among all active Division I coaches in victories and third all-time in career Mountain West victories (143).
