HUNTSVILLE | UAH men's basketball head coach Mick Hedgepeth has announced the hiring of Alex Mastin as assistant coach ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.
 
"We are excited to welcome Alex to UAH," Hedgepeth said. "His work ethic, high character, recruiting connections, and experience in the Gulf South Conference make him a tremendous fit for our staff. He will make our program better right away."
 
Mastin comes to the Chargers after serving as an assistant at fellow GSC member Montevallo last season, where the Falcons averaged the fourth-best points per game in the league at 79.6 per contest.
 
A 2013 graduate of Auburn, Mastin has extensive coaching experience throughout the state of Alabama as the JV/varsity assistant coach at Albertville High School in 2022-23 and as the varsity head coach at The Donoho School from 2015-17.
 
He also has served as the Under Armour RISE Circuit Coach for Pro One in 2022-23, prior to originally starting his coaching career as a manager for Auburn's men's basketball program from 2011-13.
 
UAH opens the 2024-25 season on Nov. 8 against reigning NCAA Division II South Region Champion Nova Southeastern in Montevallo, Alabama.
