Episode 38 | Evan Bradds | Belmont's Men's Basketball Head Coach
Monday, 13 April, 2026
Steve Layman visits with the 11th men's basketball head coach in Belmont history, Evan Bradds. The pair discuss a circuitous and providential route to the sidelines, from the love and support of his family in rural Ohio to a record-setting playing career at Belmont. Bradds shares how a pre-draft workout with the Indiana Pacers changed the trajectory of his career and life, and how is passion for basketball manifests itself in coaching. Bradds open up about influences from Rick Byrd, Brad Stevens, Joe Mazzulla, WIll Hardy, and Jon Scheyer, to his appreciations for Casey Alexander's program stewardship. Bradds details his commitment to the Belmont program, and how his experience developing top NBA players like Gordon Hayward, Keyonte George, Walker Kessler, and presumptive lottery pick Cameron Boozer will benefit present and future Belmont players. Layman concludes by asking Bradds about his short-term plan for roster construction, offseason program, and culture building, with discussion of his similarities and differences to Byrd and Alexander.
