Alabama basketball has made two changes to Crimson Tide coach Nate Oats' support staff, including the return of a familiar face to Tuscaloosa.
Alex Accetta has been hired as director of program relations, per an announcement from UA on Thursday, September 3. Accetta previously worked with Alabama men's hoops from 2015 to 2022, starting as a student **** istant before becoming the program's operations coordinator in 2017 and director of operations in 2021. In 2022, she left Alabama for a guest experience role with the NBA's Dallas Mavericks.
The news of Accetta's hire comes shortly after she and Oats married on July 26, 2026.
Josh Pierre, meanwhile, moves from director of basketball operations to director of player development, inheriting the role once held by Christian Pino, who came with Oats from Buffalo and is now on Bryan Hodgson's staff at Providence as a recruiting coordinator.
Pierre has been at Alabama since 2022 after previous stops at Elon, Mississippi State and Arkansas State.
