Alex Carlson

Alex Carlson is the Head Coach at Southern Oregon University. Alex is a native of Culver, Oregon, and played forward at Oregon Tech, helping the Owls win a NAIA title in 2004.

In 2016, Carlson had been awarded as the Cascade Conference’s coach of the year after he led the Raiders to the best season in team history: a 33-2 record, a CCC regular-season title with a record of 19-1, a CCC tournament title in which the Raiders defeated their opponents by an average of 35 points, and the team’s first-ever appearance in the NAIA Division II national championship game. Using pressure defense and a well-executed offense, Carlson’s first SOU team ranked nationally in the top 10 in each category for scoring margin, points per game, steals per game, turnover margin, assists per game, rebounds per game, and field-goal percentage.

He still ranks third in rebounds and 10th in points on the school's career lists at Oregon Tech.
