At a press conference on Tuesday, April 5, Director of Athletics Mark Ingram officially announced Robert Ehsan as the sixth head coach of the men’s basketball team.

After Jerod Haase left to become the head coach of men’s basketball at Stanford University on March 25, UAB decided to stay in-house for its next head coach. UAB promoted Ehsan, who was associate head coach under Haase for four years, to be the head coach of the defending Conference-USA regular season champions.
