David Carter, current head basketball coach at the University of Nevada is in his 15th season overall with the Wolf Pack. In four seasons he has posted a record of 74-58 and led the Pack to a pair of 20 win seasons. The 74 wins ranks ninth in school history and he is just the second Nevada coach to post two 20 win seasons leading the Wolf Pack. The first was his predecessor Mark Fox who Carter was associate head coach for during Fox's five seasons.
Carter came to the Wolf Pack in 1999 after spending two seasons as an assistant at his alma mater, Saint Mary's College, in Moraga, Calif. He also had coaching stints at Eastern Washington University and Diablo Valley Community College. In three years at Diablo Valley, Carter helped the team to its first Final Eight appearance.
Carter played high school basketball at Crenshaw High School in Los Angeles, one of the most prominent programs in the country. In three years at Crenshaw, his teams lost only five games and won state championships in 1983 and 1985.
He received his bachelor of arts in liberal studies from Saint Mary's in 1989.
Carter and his wife, Kimberly, have a daughter, Alexis (15) and a son, Cameron (13).
