On the heels of the best season in the tenure of head coach Kristy Curry, the Alabama women's basketball program officially announced a new staff member on Monday. Kevin Markle is set to join the Crimson Tide as associate strength and conditioning coach.

Markle spent the last three seasons at Stony Brook, culminating in a CAA regular season title at the end of his tenure. He has previously served in various roles at Louisnana Tech, UMass Lowell, Penn State and Wagner. At Stony Brook, Markle was assistant director of athletic performance.

The Crimson Tide won 24 games in 2023-24, Curry's 11th season with the team, and earned a No. 8 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Alabama also received a double-bye in the conference tournament after finishing fourth in the SEC standings and won its NCAA Tournament opener against Florida State before falling to No. 1 seed Texas.
