After many prayers and great conversations with Coach Wright, I am excited to announce that I will be continuing my academic and athletic career at Alabama State University!!
Hornet Nation, today we officially introduced our new men’s basketball coach, Chris Wright. The vision is set, the energy is real, and the standard just got higher.

Alabama State is Chris Wright's third HBCU coaching job. The new Hornets basketball coach said landing in Montgomery "isn't by chance." He understands the significance and purpose of it.

Chris Wright has won a LOT of college basketball games at the NAIA level. He hasn’t lost very many either.
Think this has a chance to be one of the best hires of the cycle.
