Alex Harris is an assistant coach for the Providence College men's basketball program in Providence, Rhode Island, beginning his first season with the Friars. He arrived at Providence after joining South Florida's staff in April 2025 as director of player development. At USF, he worked with Izaiyah Nelson, who became the first player in American Conference history to earn Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, and Newcomer of the Year in the same season, while Wes Enis and Joseph Pinion also received all-conference recognition.
Before South Florida, Harris spent two seasons on Bryan Hodgson's staff at Arkansas State as assistant coach for player development. Arkansas State posted a program-record 25 wins and reached the NIT in 2024-25, and Harris was connected to the development of Taryn Todd, a first-team All-Sun Belt selection, and Nelson, a third-team all-conference pick. He was the associate head coach at Word of God Christian Academy in North Carolina in 2022-23, when the team went 31-11, reached the John Wall Holiday Invitational title game, and produced six future Division I players.
